Greetings. Thanks to all who offered assistance on my upgrade from Debian 2.1 to "frozen potato". The process went fairly well, apart from a circular dependency that was resolved by re-installing 2.1 with the 2.2 kernel. However, there seems to be an intermittent problem with the dynamic linker (ld.so). For example, running some programs yields the following:
BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 57: elf_get-dynamic_info: Assertion '! "bad dynamic tag"' failed! I noticed this failure when running 'man' on a valid entry (man on a non-existent entry does not cause this behavior); I also noticed the failure during an invocation of 'umount' while the system was rebooting. And, there are other problems. For example, I see an "Illegal SPARC instruction" flash by during the runlevel change after executing 'init 6'. My platform is a SPARC IPX; 64mb ram, prom rev 2.9. Debian 2.1 seemed to run fine. If someone has an idea of a fix, please let me know. Otherwise I'll revert to 2.1 until potato is officially released. Also, if I can offer any more information please ask. Thanks much. Regards, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- David E.
