Public bug reported:
After upgrading to libc6 version 2.5-10ubuntu1 my system hung during
init, where it said something about scripts/init-bottom. There was no
error message. Ctrl-C didn't have any effect, but pressing ctrl-alt-del
made the system do a restart.
I am using kernel version 2.6.22-6-generic on a Core 2 Duo system.
libc6-i686 is installed, too.
I didn't notice any problem before rebooting some hours after the
upgrade.
To repair the system I booted the feisty live-cd. On my attempt to
chroot into the installed system bash didn't want to run (Bus error,
Core dumped). Unfortunately, I couldn't find the core dump in the
current directory. Then I copied bash-static into the system and
chrooted into it. dpkg and wget still worked and I was able to download
and install version 2.5-0ubuntu14 of libc6 and libc6-i686, which solved
the problem.
