Package: libc6 Version: 2.9-25 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
I tried to upgrade to the current "testing" version of libc6: 2.10.1-5 Below is the output from aptitude: ----- Preparing to replace libc-bin 2.9-25 (using .../libc-bin_2.10.1-5_i386.deb) ...

Every command would return a "segmentation fault." Rebooting the system did not help either. I ultimately had to boot into another OS and copy back the files from version 2.9-25 in order to have a usable system. I can try to provide additional details if necessary. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Binaries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-4 GCC support library Versions of packages libc6 recommends: di libc6-i686 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i Versions of packages libc6 suggests: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy pn glibc-doc <none> (no description available) ii locales 2.9-25 GNU C Library: National Language ( -- debconf information: * glibc/upgrade: true glibc/disable-screensaver: glibc/restart-failed: * glibc/restart-services: spamassassin ssh saslauthd rsync openbsd-inetd mysql dovecot exim4 cron courier-authdaemon atd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
