Public bug reported: An routine `apt-get dist-upgrade` today introduced gcc-4.9. This seems to omit the crucual libgcc_s.so.1 library, upon which apt-get for one relies. This caused apt to crash and emit the following:
$ apt-get apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Using dpkg -i to reinstall gcc-4.8: cd /var/cache/apt/archives sudo dpkg -i libgcc1_1%3a4.8.2-15ubuntu3_amd64.deb libgcc1_1%3a4.8.2-15ubuntu3_i386.deb has restored things to a working state again. ** Affects: gcc-4.8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280232 Title: libgcc1 is missing libgcc_s.so.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/+bug/1280232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
