Since libc6 is the core of all gnu/linux systems, I never do "upgrade
libc6", instead I always do "install libc6", *before* any upgrade. Since
I've been doing this I *never* got any problem. In sum: apt-get install
libc6. Doing this, you'll first atualize the libc6 and, after that, any
upgrade you do will fit better.

Earlier I ignored this message and I download libc6_2.3.2-7 to disk. After

Now I reinstall woody but the problem exist.
Can You help me?
This issue could be something similar to what I was experiencing recently.

After upgrading libc on an SS10 calls to sscanf using a %f in the format
string produced SIGILL. In this case, though, only some programs broke, not
all of them (a 'ps' would work, a 'ps ax' would not).
As somebody suggested installing a newer kernel solved the problem: I tried
the newest Debian 2.4.21 sparc32 and it works fine.
So, try upgrading your kernel (after booting from CD-ROM or the net) and see
if that helps. Other than that I guess your only option is re-installing.

Markus
