Public bug reported: What happened: Multiple "*** glibc detected *** xxx: free(): invalid pointer: ..." in almost all programs
Version: Hardy Heron as of 2008-03-13 Unknown package I've upgraded my system from Gutsy to Hardy. To do so i've changed all occurancies of "gutsy" in /etc/apt/source.list to "hardy" and typed "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade". After this process completed i've restared to new kernel and tried to run "sudo aptitude full-upgrade". Output is attached. After this i was not able to make my system work. I've tried LiveCD, where i've chroot'ed to hd1 and tried to do anything. Almost every command was throwing "free(): invalid pointer" errors. But when i've tried to use /bin/sh insted of /bin/bash most of these errors disappeared, except for downloading of packaged through "aptitude" (hence i was not able to downgrade my system). Then i've installed clean version of Ubuntu 7.10 Server and upgraded it up to Hardy. The system was behaving in the same way (a lot of invalid pointers). Feel free to ask for more details. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: hardy -- glibc 6 free(): invalid pointer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202179 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
