(Though in my setup kvm is involved, I try get any further information from the admin hosting my kvm guest.) Did you reboot your system while upgrading it? (I assume the answer is NO, because looking at your bugreport it looks like update-menus just worked again after upgrade of libc finished.) > > I'm trying to isolate the bug and encounter the problem on just one > > single system so far so any information would help us in tracking > > that.... > Thank you for looking into this.
