#*****************************
#*** Problems
#*****************************

Package libc6_2.3.2.ds1-10_mipsel.deb refused to install.
After several trials in order to fix the problem (and restore  the apt
funcionality) I forced an dpkg-deb -x  to /.

Nothing worked anymore.
Tar refuses to work, commands like ls showed strange behaviour:

Look at permissions on files:

cobalt:~# ls -la /bin/ls
-x    1 root     root        80152 Mar 18  2002 /bin/ls
cobalt:~# ls -la /bin/ls
=C4=F6=D6?X.z.-x    1 root     root        80152 Mar 18  2002 /bin/ls
cobalt:~# ls -la /bin/ls
=C5=F6=D6?.Bx-x    1 root     root        80152 Mar 18  2002 /bin/ls
cobalt:~# ls -la /bin/ls
=C6=F6=D6?g-x    1 root     root        80152 Mar 18  2002 /bin/ls

sh-2.05a# ls -la /etc/localtime

sh-2.05a# ls -la /etc/localtime

->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome
sh-2.05a#


cobalt:~# tar
Segmentation fault

Booting with rescue image and overwriting with old
libc6_2.2.5-11.5_mipsel.deb solved the problem.

All testing distribution of Debian on mipsel is corrupted and unusable.

Bzzzt.  No sympathy.

*Never* do that.  If it doesn't install, there's a reason.  If you
overcome the safeguards, your system will break.  This is not a bug.

Please file a new bug with information about why it refused to install,
including specific error messages.

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
