I need more details. OK. This is what happend: When the dpkg wanted to remove /lib/ld-2.3.1.so in order to insert it's own (identical) this was not possible since the rm command got: rm /lib/ld-2.3.1.so I got the "Device or resource busy" message as a reply. It's because the file is in use by many tools: # lsof | grep ld-2.3.1.so bash 907 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so startx1005 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so xinit 1016 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so fvwm2 1021 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so xsnow 1023 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so xterm 1024 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so xterm 1025 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so xterm 1026 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so bubblefis 1027 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so bash 1028 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so bash 1029 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so bash 1030 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so FvwmPager 1031 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so emacs 3834 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so lsof 6487 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so grep 6488 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so lsof 6489 magnus memREG3,1 83504 1208304 /lib/ld-2.3.1.so However, it is fishy that I should run into that problem... libc6 updates should run smoothly and they have before. Now, the trick around this problem is to do cp /lib/ld-2.3.1.so /lib/ld-2.3.1.so.foo rm /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ldconfig Since the copied file which is more recent and ldconfig will fetch the later. However, the bindings to the old one remains, so a reboot is the only cure, but then the bindings will point to the .foo variant at next time, so a new attempt to install will now work. What ever caused this problem, I don't know. I've run pretty tight updates to unstable on this machine and this is one of the few hickups I've had. Now I have put these troubles behind me, but someone should figure out how to handle this problem, both on how it could occur (I haven't fiddle with that file prior to this!) and when it occurs. If you fuck up the libc6 installation a lot of other stuff falls right off. Cheers, Magnus

Bug#170635: libc6 2.3.1-3 to 2.3.1-5 upgrade breaks
Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.1-5 Severity: critical On upgrading my Debian/unstable system (oddly called heaven) from libc6 2.3.1-3 to 2.3.1-5 it halts the installation with this text: Preparing to replace libc6 2.3.1-3 (using .../libc6_2.3.1-5_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libc6 ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.1-5_i386.deb (--unpack): unable to install new version of `./lib/ld-2.3.1.so': Device or resource busy dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.1-5_i386.deb When the file is to be replaced, it is being used by a heap of different tools. "lsof | grep ld-" gives a pretty good idea where the trouble is. This have worked before, new upgrade routines in the libc6 package? Cheers, Magnus

Trouble with getopt_long_only
Hi! I run fairly bleeding edge potato box with libc6 2.1.2-2 installed. Both my Acrobat reader (acroread 4.0-1) and Netscape (netscape 4.61-21) will fail. I did a quick gdb session on both just to find a common denominator: For Netscape: heaven:~> gdb netscape GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Anyway, is this a know bug? How does we solve this? Cheers, Magnus
