I can report the same problem. "aptitude upgrade" fails because a series of post-installation scripts exits with "28690 Illegal instruction ldconfig". I also get "Illegal instruction" when invoking ldconfig manually. "dist-upgrade" equally fails. I also tried -f option for both variants. Always the same.
Here is an example session: # aptitude update (...okay) # aptitude upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree Reading extended state information Initializing package states...
