I got the same problem when I tried to upgrade libc on my Fujitsu P-series laptop. I "fixed" it by booting a recovery CD and copying all the /lib/* libraries provided by libc from my backup machine to my laptop. Obviously this is a bad idea, but it worked. If you have any suggestions about how to track the problem down then I am willing to experiment. -- A new cognitive theory of emotion, http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/aleader
