Package: libnss-mdns
Version: 1.10-3
Hi everyone, I am completely stumped on this one. I'm in the console,
attempting to apt-get install libnss-mdns, but during the configuration in
dpkg, I get an error reading something like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want my opinion on the solution here, I think it may have something
to do with a bug in perl, but I'm not honestly sure. I noticed that right
after getting the segfault, binaries no longer work. I.E. trying to run DPKG
will get a segfault right away, ls will get a segfault, everything will.
That is, until I copy over the files in the libc6 package onto my HD. For
some reason, something in libc6 gets tampered with, stopping all binaries
from running till I restore libc6 by copying over its files.
Thank you for helping!
