Hi, I just did "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" for SID and am getting all sorts of errors. I upgraded about a week ago with any problems. Here's an example from the emacs21 package:
Preparing to replace emacs21 21.2-6 (using .../emacs21_21.3-1_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement emacs21 ... update-menus: relocation error: update-menus: symbol _ZNSt9basic_iosIcSt11char_traitsIcEE4initEPSt15basic_streambufIcS1_E, version GLIBCPP_3.2 not defined in file libstdc++.so.5 with link time reference dpkg: warning - old post-removal script returned error exit status 127 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... update-menus: relocation error: update-menus: symbol _ZNSt9basic_iosIcSt11char_traitsIcEE4initEPSt15basic_streambufIcS1_E, version GLIBCPP_3.2 not defined in file libstdc++.so.5 with link time reference dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/emacs21_21.3-1_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 127 update-menus: relocation error: update-menus: symbol _ZNSt9basic_iosIcSt11char_traitsIcEE4initEPSt15basic_streambufIcS1_E, version GLIBCPP_3.2 not defined in file libstdc++.so.5 with link time reference dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127 Several other packages complain in exactly the same way -- something about "GLIBCPP_3.2 not defined" occurring in "update-menus". I've never seen this before. I did a little research and saw this from the mailing lists in January : http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2003/debian-boot-200301/msg00393.html This message talks about mklibs.py, but I do really understand what is going wrong. Any clues? Cheers, Curt
