My system (debian/testing) is using 2.13-27 version of libc6 and I'm trying to upgrade to the current testing version... * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I'm trying to do an aptitude install libc6 * What was the outcome of this action? It didn't finish well, I obtain the following messages : A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory: '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so' It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation; please remove that copy of the C library or get it out of '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' and try again. * What outcome did you expect instead? An upgrade without problem ! I have tryied : - to move that file - nothing work after that so I cannot redo the upgrade ! - to use a rescue CD (PartedMagic), chroot the environement and try to force the upgrade, but I get the same result ! Is there any solution to make the upgrade happen without reinstalling the whole system ? This looks like your dpkg database is corrupted, or at least not in sync with the files installed in your system. Can you please provide us the contents of all the files named /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6*.list ? Ping ? Sorry for the lack of response ! Unfortunately I have reinstalled the system using the CUT installation CD (http://cut.debian.net/) and it works like a charm ! I received your first mail just after my reinstall and I haven't any copy of the old /var :( I think you can close that bug. I will reopen it if it happened again and in that case I will save the /var/lib to have some post mortem datas.

Bug#555168: Unclear license situation for (e)glibc locales provided by you
Hello, you are listed as contact person/author of the following locale: uk_UA This locale comes with a statement % Distribution and use is free, also % for commercial purposes. Thus it does not allow modification; it is unclear, however, if this statement was meant as a license. As discussed in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555168 this locale could strictly speaking not be part of Debian which would be a great loss. (Currently it is allowed pending investigation). To properly resolve this, I would like to ask you the following question: Would you be willing to relicense this locale to a proper license, e.g. (L)GPL v2 or higher or another free software license of your choice? If you have any questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to contact me (via the reply-to address set). Thanks for helping to resolve this!

Bugs #619605 and #649265
reassign 619605 libc-bin reassign 649265 libc-bin thanks These two bugs are related to /etc/nsswitch.conf, so they should be considered bugs in libc-bin now as we are moving the file from base-files. Bug#619605 complains that the default /etc/nsswitch.conf has an implicit dependency on libnss-db. Bug#649265 complains that there is not a mechanism to update /etc/nsswitch.conf. I guess a fix for #649265 would make #619605 quite easy to fix. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
