RE: potato upgrade killed libc5 I ran an apt-get upgrade over the past weekend. That and/or an upgrade to new 2.2.12 kernel seems to have killed all my old binaries depending on libc5.
Mostly the affected files amount to cruft. There is(was) a commercial xvscan with scanner support that died. However, when this goes onto our production machine it will surely kill all sorts of user scripts that we do not maintain and that I'm sure our users do not maintain. The libc5 libraries here have not been touched in months. I've attached below a strace of two instances, one of a libc5 login, and another of a local accounting program. The output in this case does not mean much to me. It does not go very far. Is it even done with the loader? I hope this is a "local feature" but thought I'd post this note just in case. ;^) i86 potato v2.2.12 cfm -- Christopher F.
