Hello, it looks like after running apt-get upgrade on my box, my
glibc environment has been broken:

Updated the following:
Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org stable/main libc6-dev

Get:2 http://http.us.debian.org stable/main libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2

3-5etch1 [22.7MB]
Get:13 http://http.us.debian.org stable/main xlibs-data 1:7.1.0-19
[18.5kB]

dpkg subsequently segfaulted, and I now get the following error when
running commands like dpkg, or even 'ls':

ls: relocation error: /lib/libpthread.so.0: symbol __libc_stack_end,
version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link
time reference

I'm running kenel 2.6.18, on etch.

Any would be appreciated.

thank you,

replying to my initial post -

I just subbed for the purposes of finding out about this issue - I'm
assuming that if this was widespread, I would've heard a "yeah, it's
being worked on" sort of reply.

Given that - can anyone recommend even a place to start from as far
as this problem goes? It seems that the linking to glibc has gone
awry either on my side or (less likely), on the etch side, is there a
glibc package I can use to fix the problem?

thanks,

I didn't think that I was, however I upgraded from sarge to etch a
while back, so perhaps that's how it's left my system? I'd noticed
this problem earlier when I booted into an older kernel. I
mistakenly thought nothing of it given the older kernel version
(2.4.x), but on second thought, that should have nothing to do with it.

If I indeed am running a mixed system, how can I switch entirely to
the etch release?

thanks!

Eliminate all Sarge references from sources.list.

my sources.list is as follows:
deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

given that dpkg is broken, is there any other way to check the list
of debs that the system has installed for any sarge packages?

thanks,

after further digging, I've found this thread on the debian glibc list:

I'll be looking into how I can fix the problem - their suggested fix
does not work.

If anyone is going through this problem, hopefully my resolution
might them - it looks like in the upgrade of libc-dev, something
got hosed. The interim solution to the problem while I fixed the
install was to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib, as it seemed that the
problem was arising from the symbols in the files in /lib/tls.

After the full install, things started working, and I unset the
environment variable.
