I've ran in some serious problems when I installed/upgrade some packages: upgrade of libc6 failed and now lots of programs won't start anymore:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls ls: error while loading shared libraries: libacl.so.1: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Error 14 It all happened when I needed some extra packages for benchmarking MySQL. I did 'apt-get install zlib1g-dev' and it suggested upgrading some packages so I let it. It failed however to upgrade libc6. I'm not that familiar with Debian (I'm a Mandriva-man myself) but at work the test server is Debian Woody. Before screwing up the installation even more I ask your advice: how can I fix it? Thanks Nick. These are the details: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/mysql/sql-bench# apt-get install zlib1g-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
