I recently updated through dselect, and the process hangs when it tries to upgrade libc6. I am using testing. Here is what I get:
Preparing to replace libc6 2.2.1-1 (using libc6_2.2.1-3_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libc6 . It will hang there for at least an hour (yes, I let it run for that long). The hard drive, cpu, and memory are not being accessed, so I don't think the process is doing anything at all. I actually have two questions here. First... What is the next logical step? Should I try to find 2.2.1-2 and upgrade to that first? Second... how do I kill the process? I tried Ctrl-c and that didn't work. I tried Ctrl-z and that didn't work. Then I tried firing up another xterm and killing the process with "kill -9 [PID]" and that didn't kill it. The only thing I could do to kill it was change to runlevel 1 and then back to 2. Any suggestions? Thanks, Brian -- Brian J. Stults Doctoral Candidate Department of Sociology University at Albany - SUNY Phone: (518) 442-4652 Fax: (518) 442-4936 Web: http://www.albany.edu/~bs7452
