Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
The other day I ran update-manager -c -d from within my perfectly good Edgy system on my ThinkPad A20m. The installation appeared to make good progress, downloading MBs of packages, configuring, etc. Whilst configuring libc6, it encountered a problem and dumped core. From then on, almost every command I typed dumped core. I cannot reboot the system, it gets to init bottom and hangs. I'm running under the Herd1 LiveCD. For fun, I copied all libc6 files from the live session to my old /, and tried rebooting. No better. FYI, I cannot install Herd1: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/78298 ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Upgrade to Feisty with upgrade-manager -c -d corrupted libc6 https://launchpad.net/bugs/78302 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
