Package: libc6 Version: 2.9-4 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
This problem is with libc6 2.9-4, althogh my system shows below it's using 2.7-18. I downgraded to avoid the problem. After upgrading to 2.9-4 most programs on my system are no longer able to resolve dns addresses, when connecting to the internet via dhcp with a dsl connection. "aptitude update" returns this error for every repository: "Err http://security.debian.org testing/updates/contrib Translation-en_US Could not resolve 'security.debian.org'" Evolution can not send emails, the gnome weather panel applet cannont retrieve information online, etc. Although iceweasel continues to work okay. Upon suggestion from another user, I found that if I configure my system with a specific numerical dns server address, for example from opendns, this serves as a work around. But if the dns server is just the name of my ip (which is the way dhcp configures it) then the problem arises. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-3 GCC support library libc6 recommends no packages.
