Bug#586241: libc6: Upgrade 2.10.2-9 to 2.11.1-3 breaks the system debian/squeeze, (segfaults on any command)
Hello, Here it is: http://dl.free.fr/rr9lPsFSJ It should be faster than if I hosted it myself.

If you are able again to produce an image with libc6 crashing (I mean
already crashing, not that will crash after an upgrade), that's probably
something we can already study.
Successfully reproduced on a AMD Duron, the same way.
But I did not understand what you meant with the image.
Maybe I badly reported the bug in fact. I think the bug is in libc6
2.11.1-3 (and not 2.10.2-9 as mentionned) but I couldn't even boot after
the upgrade ("kernel panic, attempted to kill init"). I had to downgrade
libc6 from 2.11.1-3 to 2.10.2-9 from a live system to be able to post here.
Some days ago I could finally upgrade libc6 (with some others packets)
successfully on my laptop, but I'm almost sure it would have crashed if
I had done first a upgrade of the packets first and then libc6 (not I do
this everytime but it's the only way I found to reproduce the bug).

Bug#586241: libc6: Upgrade 2.10.2-9 to 2.11.1-3 breaks the system debian/squeeze, (segfaults on any command)
Hello, Thanks for the image, but I can't download it. I get a 403 error. Yep sorry for not told you, I had deleted the image since the results I got were totally weird. The bug was fixed somehow or not at all. Yesterday some package asked the libc6 2.11.1-3 to be installed in order to get them upgraded, I risked the upgrade and it did work. The package hadn't changed then it must be related to something else. Does it mean the crash then only happens on reboot? Not at all. I have been a little bit fast on my last post by saying that once linux-image-2.6-686 was up to date, the upgrade of libc6 crashed. It's actually weirder (or I didn't do the right thing). This is how I tried to get the "bad" packages which make crash : hold a huge list of packets but some ones, then run a dist-upgrade, un-hold all of them and then upgrade libc6 (each time I reverted the VM to the previous state). In fact doing it that way made the upgrade crash each time. I noticed this when I tried to do a dichotomic search on the package list and I saw that once "wget whois" upgraded, libc6 upgrade crashed anyhow, which made no sense. I tried then to upgrade (apt-get install) only whois and wget, and then libc6, which perfectly worked. Then I aborted searching the problem. I have there only my laptop, on which I have done all of this. I hope I can do all of these tests on another computer, but since you said you couldn't reproduce that bug, I'm beginning to think that it may be a memory corruption on my laptop. In this case I present all my apologies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#586241: libc6: Upgrade 2.10.2-9 to 2.11.1-3 breaks the system debian/squeeze (segfaults on any command)
Well, now I could reproduce the crash by upgrading only linux-base and linux-image-2.6-686 (which provides linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 at the moment, and some others dependencies). Maybe then it's related to them. -- Thibault Manlay s...@thibland.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hello, Sure. It's a virtualbox virtual machine. I have put it there: <http://pegasus.thibland.net/~thib/kvasir.vdi> If you boot it, don't take care of the ldap notices on startup. Root password = root Since it's a huge file I'm currently working on a smaller virtual machine to find why the upgrade of libc6 is crashing. -- Thibault Manlay s...@thibland.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#586241: libc6: Upgrade 2.10.2-9 to 2.11.1-3 breaks the system debian/squeeze (segfaults on any command)
Package: libc6 Version: 2.10.2-9 Severity: critical Tags: squeeze Justification: breaks the whole system I recently upgraded libc* (libc-bin, libc6) from 2.10.2-9 to 2.11.1-3 on squeeze and the upgrade crashed at this moment: Preparing to replace libc6 2.10.2-9 (using .../libc6_2.11.1-3_i386.deb) ... Checking for services that may need to be restarted... Checking init scripts... Unpacking replacement libc6 ... /bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_GB.UTF-8) Setting up libc6 (2.11.1-3) ... /bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_GB.UTF-8) dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault) Errors were encountered while processing: libc6 and the whole system was broken (any command returned a segmentation fault). Since I have been able to downgrade the two packages libc6 and libc-bin to their previous version (2.10.2-9). I tried then to reproduce this behaviour on a virtual machine unsuccessfully first but I finally managed to reproduce it by upgrading every packet to their last version on the repository and then upgrade libc* packages. I join here the diff between before and after the massive upgrade. Maybe an upgraded packet has some difficulties with this version of libc6 (2.11.1-3) Thanks in advance. -- Thibault Manlay s...@thibland.net -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.10.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries di libgcc1 1:4.4.4-1 GCC support library Versions of packages libc6 recommends: hi libc6-i6862.10.2-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i Versions of packages libc6 suggests: di debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy pn glibc-doc (no description available) ii locales 2.10.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: National L -- debconf information: * glibc/upgrade: true glibc/disable-screensaver: --- pkg.list.kvasir 2010-06-17 04:58:16.572453697 +0200 +++ pkg.list.kvasir22010-06-17 15:42:38.764440234 +0200 @@ -4,19 +4,20 @@ ||/ Name Version Description +++-=--== ii acpi-support-base 0.136-3 scripts for handling base ACPI events such as the power button -ii acpid 1:2.0.4-1Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon +ii acpid 1:2.0.5-1Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon ii adduser 3.112add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.7.25.3 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii apt-utils 0.7.25.3 APT utility programs ii aptitude 0.6.1.5-3terminal-based package manager (terminal interface only) ii at3.1.12-1 Delayed job execution and batch processing ii avahi-daemon 0.6.25-3 Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD daemon -ii base-files5.3 Debian base system miscellaneous files +ii base-files5.7 Debian base system miscellaneous files ii base-passwd 3.5.22 Debian base system master password and group files ii bash 4.1-3The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii bash-completion 1:1.1-3 programmable completion for the bash shell ii bc1.06.95-2The GNU bc arbitrary precision calculator language ii bind9-host1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1Version of 'host' bundled with BIND 9.X +ii binutils 2.20.1-10The GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities ii bsd-mailx 8.1.2-0.20100314cvs-1simple mail user agent ii bsdmainutils 8.0.11 collection of more utilities from FreeBSD ii bsdutils 1:2.16.2-0 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite @@ -31,9 +32,9 @@ ii cpio 2.11-4 GNU cpio -- a program to manage archives of files ii cpp
