Not surprising. ;o) That library is the standard C library to
which every application on the whole system is dynamically
linked. You can think of it as "God" if you like. ;o)

try:
cd /usr/lib
sln libc.so.6old libc.so.6
"sln" is a statically linked version of "ln", which the above
command allows you to hardlink the file back to it's original
name. After that you should be ok. Don't ever muck with library
files in /usr/lib unless you know the repercussions. ;o)

Yes.

Depends on how you proceed to upgrade. It isn't entirely
necessary though.
