Bug#438586: libc6 upgrade renders etch unusable
Perhaps the bug only manifests itself when upgrading a chrooted system? Other than being a 32 bit chroot on underneath a 64 bit enviroment the distribution is entirely etch and vanilla.

Bug#438586: Workaround/Fix Re: Bug#438586: libc6 upgrade renders etch unusable
Hello Aurelien, The only thing I had done up to that point was to run: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade within the chroot environment. libc6 was one of the packages that was on the list to upgrade at that time. The install failed which left me in the state below. I now have a fix/workaround: Upgrading libc6 on the Parent x86_64 distribution followed by a reboot then reinstall of libc6 withing the 32 bit chroot repairs the 32 bit system and now all is well. So it seems that the system (kernel?) did not like the mix of libcs on the system? I have to think about why this would be a problem, as the architectures are of course different. Thanks for your quick responses. I still regard this as a bug, but no longer critical as the workaround is straightforward (once you see the terror of a libc upgrade hosing one system and bite the bullet and run the same install on another ;) ) Nathan Siemers Nathan Siemers - Fiveprime.org - http://www.fiveprime.org Aurelien Jarno wrote: Nathan O.

Yes, I have a chroot in /emul/ia32-linux/. I can send you the output you describe below but unfortunately it will no longer capture the broken state, I'm sorry.
