Package: libc6
Version: 2.13-8
Severity: normal
Hi,
attempting to (c)deboostrap sid with with 2.13-8 fails with the following:
O: Unpacking libc6 (from .../libc6_2.13-8_amd64.deb) ...
P: Unpacking package libc6
O:
O: A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory:
O: '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so'
O: It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation;
O: please remove that copy of the C library or get it out of
O: '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' and try again.
O:
O: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/bootstrap/libc6_2.13-8_amd64.deb
(--unpack):
O: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
I believe the problem is that libc6 is extracted and then the preinst is run,
so when the preinst runs libc6 own files are in place but as libc6 hasn't been
installed:
libcfiles=$(dpkg-query -L libc6 2>/dev/null)
leaves libcfiles empty. This means then that check_dir thinks it has found a
copy of the C library when it has found the one it is meant to be installing.
if echo $libcfiles | grep -q "[ ^]$lib[ $]" ; then
continue
fi
Sorry, but I'm really not sure how this should be fixed so I haven't even
attempted to include a patch.
Thanks,
Niall
