Public bug reported:
--- What I did / how to reproduce ---
I was just upgrading my packages with Synaptic.
--- What happened ---
libc6 was left in a half-installed state and I was told to run "dpkg
--configure -a".
When running "dpkg --configure -a", ldconfig segfaulted and my system was left
with a broken libc.
Not even "ls" worked.
It was much pain to bring the system to a workable state again, since I had to
download the intrepid .iso and
burn it using the broken computer (and that's not easy when you can only boot
from CD's, so I ended up
moving one of the harddrives to another computer).
Then I just copied over all files belonging to the libc6 package from the CD to
the harddrive and finally got it up and running again.
Right now, ldconfig still segfaults and "dpkg --configure -a" is
impossible to please.
--- Expected results ---
The package should upgrade without a hitch and preferably not leave the system
in a broken state.
