Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: prelink
I activated prelink via /etc/defaults/prelink and after a while I
realized that my system went mad, i.e. a load of 30 and everything was
crashing. I couldn't even do a "ls".
Booting was not possible (sic!) because of "sh: Out of space" in the
AppArmor script in init-bottom in the initrd. What it does is to go off
to the root partition and installs some profiles. But when chrooting to
the root image, it uses the libc in the libc, too. And that has been
compromised by prelink.
So I had to figure out to copy a fresh libc-2.11.1.so over the over the
old one and then to a chroot /media/root /bin/prelink -ua in order to
fix it.
I consider this to be a very serious issue because you cannot even boot
into rescue mode.
