As a workaround to this problem, I've found using an older working version of ldconfig with the newest libc6 debian packages will allow make apt to work.
1 ) First, backup the broken ldconfig and make a soft link to it (even though it doesn't deserve a backup). $ cd /sbin $ mv ldconfig ldconfig-2.3.5-6 $ ln -s ldconfig-2.3.5-6 ldconfig 2 ) Re-install an older version of libc6. I was able to install it from an old package located on my computer's deb cache: $ dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6*_2.3.2.ds1-22*.deb 3 ) Make sure the old ldconfig still works and exits silently: $ ldconfig 4 ) Backup this working version of ldconfig, but keep the soft-link pointing to it. $ cd /sbin $ mv ldconfig ldconfig-2.3.2-ds1-22 $ ln -s ldconfig-2.3.2-ds1-22 ldconfig 5 ) With libc6 downgraded, this has surely pissed off apt-get. Run apt-get to fix broken dependencies with libc6. $ apt-get -f install 6 ) Remove this newly installed broken ldconfig and soft link to the older working version: $ cd /sbin $ rm -f ldconfig $ ln -s ldconfig-2.3.2-ds1-22 ldconfig 7 ) Finish your upgrade or install $ apt-get install or $ apt-get upgrade -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
