Hi, Today, I did my routine apt-get upgrade and noticed that the libc has been updated. However, now apt-get upgrade fails to configure the updated package. The error message is:
Preconfiguring packages ... *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0893e320 *** /bin/sh: line 1: 6046 Aborted /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt Setting up debconf (1.4.58) ... *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x088d9240 *** dpkg: error processing debconf (--configure): subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Aborted) Errors were encountered while processing: debconf Full log is: % apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists...
