I was just trying another test upgrade on the same virtual machine (from karmic to lucid).
This time, the coreutils/gnulib bug actually caused the upgrade process to abort, after dpkg printed these line: ========== Setting up slapd (2.4.21-0ubuntu3) ... Installing new version of config file /etc/ldap/schema/ldapns.schema ... Installing new version of config file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.slapd ...

I was able to get slapd to install/configure successfully by extracting the /bin/tar binary out of the Debian Squeeze coreutils 8.4 package, installing it into /bin on my test system, and then running "dpkg --configure --pending"... -- coreutils affected by "Bad file descriptor" error with new glibc on older kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552816 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
