I get errors similar to and including the following during dist-upgrade. I'm running kernel 2.0.35 with Sparc patches and just hand-upgraded to glibc2.1
i mamually unpacked fileutils and used the ch* executables out of there, so I know it's not a problem with fileutils. I suspect it's a problem with libc6.... :nasal:/usr/local/foo/baz/bin# apt-get install fileutils :Reading Package Lists... Done :Building Dependency Tree...
