FWIW, after some experimentation in a chrooted copy of the system I was able to revover, here's a snippet of my shell history: 588 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ apt-get -f install Didn't help. every new process would just segfault, until (ldconfig had been symlinked to /bin/true before): 589 /sbin/ldconfig.real Seems the apt-get -f install with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set got me far enough so that now it was possible to continue w/o errors: 590 apt-get -f install 591 apt-get -s remove libc6-amd64 592 apt-get -s --purge remove libc6-amd64 593 apt-get --purge remove libc6-amd64 Now I'm in a state without broken/half-installed libc6* packages, finally could get rid of libc6-amd64, and can continue with upgrading: :) waldner@fsck->~ $ COLUMNS=72 dpkg -l | grep libc6 | egrep ^i ii libc6:amd64 2.18-5 amd64 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared li ii libc6:i386 2.18-5 i386 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared li ii libc6-dbg:amd6 2.18-5 amd64 Embedded GNU C Library: detached ii libc6-dev:amd6 2.18-5 amd64 Embedded GNU C Library: Developme ii libc6-dev:i386 2.18-5 i386 Embedded GNU C Library: Developme ii libc6-dev-i386 2.18-5 amd64 Embedded GNU C Library: 32-bit de ii libc6-dev-x32 2.18-5 amd64 Embedded GNU C Library: X32 ABI D ii libc6-i386 2.18-5 amd64 Embedded GNU C Library: 32-bit sh ii libc6-x32 2.18-5 amd64 Embedded GNU C Library: X32 ABI S Kind regards, robert -- -- Too much is just enough. -- Mark Twain (on whiskey)
