Debian :: Updating Libc6 W/o Upgrading?
May 17, 2010
I run Etch. Yes, it's oldstable, but Lenny and Squeeze annoy the heck out of me. However, I'm trying to install the latest version (5.1) of Google Earth, but it requires >=glibc-2.4. Etch only offers 2.3.something. The earlier version of GE I have (4.3) does work, but is apparently no longer supported by Google as it fails to connect every time I fire it up. I found Lenny does have the required libc6 version. Can I update the libc6 packages by installing them directly (separately downloaded packages) or do I get the dependency hell that I want to avoid?

Every time I try updating my system to the new Debian stable, I end up with a system that no longer recognizes my burner and even though autofs was not updated, it is restarted and all of a sudden there's no map for it. This usually takes nothing more than updating Amarok to "stable", because libc6 must be updated. I've tried updating different programs and this is the one factor that remained the same when the autofs no maps issue cropped up. I am considering trying again. But testing the system upgrade on another partition, so I can get it right before using it on my "real" system.
Last time I made an attempt, I was able to make my burner and floppy drives visible under "computer" by adding both to the fstab file, and was even able play DVDs, CDs and floppies but the K3B burner would not recognize the burner and said hal was used to detect, but HAL was not updated -- I'm absolutely sure of this. The other burner program (Gnome Baker) would at least recognize and even named my burner, but could not burn a disk. I did update HAL afterwards, hoping to help the situation, but it improved nothing and may have made things worse. When I rebooted the next day I had no disk access whatever.
As I mentioned in the title, I believe upgrading to libc6 led to the trouble. Don't understand why. When I upgraded from old oldstable to the new old stable last year nothing bad happened. Would skipping over new "stable" libc6 and going for the new unstable work? If I could just solve this one problem, I could easily upgrade Dreamlinux 3.5 from Debian 5.0 to 6.0.1. That's where it was when I upgraded most of the system, before recognizing there was a disk recognition and mounting problem.

While updating and upgrading, I got this at the command prompt:
Code: Select all ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
  What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
  Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
  N or O : keep your currently-installed version
   D   : show the differences between the versions
   Z   : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.

I am trying to install wine on a Karmic box, but apt-get is trying to upgrade libc6 at the same time. _I know better than to touch the runtime C library. When I boot the same computer with a live session of Karmic, apt-get installs wine flawlessly.What is going on here? _Why is apt-get trying to do this
Code:
root@machine:~# apt-get install wine

Upgrade calls for ensuring latest updates to Karmic are installed before upgrading to 10.04 LTS. Every attempt to update hangs, yielding the following dialogue:
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY B152F042D246C25D I guess I am sort of stuck in nowhere land here.

I'm having another issue when trying to install a particular software package.
I'm trying to install a CityEngine 2015.2 trial and when I run the setup script using ./Setup, I get the following error:
Code: Select all[CityEngine 2015.2 Setup Error]
libc6 not detected
I tried reinstalling libc6 to no avail and searching the net for answers but couldn't find any solutions.
I parsed the script for that exception and found the following code:
Code: Select allelif [ "x` which dpkg-query 2>/dev/null `x" != "xx" ]
    then
      DetectedLibcVersion=` dpkg-query -s libc6 2>/dev/null | grep ^Provides: | cut -f2 -d'-' `
      if [ "x${DetectedLibcVersion}" = "x" ]
      then
        error_header
        echo "libc6 not detected" >&2
        exit 1
      fi

I am using my athlon64 machine running Debian squeeze i386 to build some packages optimized for a K6-2 machine. I decided to start with libc6 since most packages depend on it.
I installed the build dependencies via
Code:
apt-get build-dep eglibc
Then, as an unprivileged user, I downloaded the debianized source via
Code:
apt-get source eglibc
I changed to the source directory and ran
Code:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -us
About 6 hours later, the build failed: [URL]
There were four config.log files:
Code:
./build-tree/i386-xen/config.log
./build-tree/i386-i686/config.log
./build-tree/i386-libc/config.log
./build-tree/i386-amd64/config.log
All of which end with exit status 0. They are also about 1600 lines each so I haven't read them entirely. If someone can tell me which one/ones is/are relevant, I will post it/them to a pastebin.

With tar, it is possible to back up your desktop system like so (probably best done from runlevel 1 or a live medium):
# cd / # or wherever your root directory is mounted
# tar --exclude=dev/* --exclude=proc/* --exclude=sys/* --exclude=tmp/* --exclude=backup.tar.gz -czvpf backup.tar.gz .

I just tried installing another version of libc6 (2.10.2-6) with kpackage. It didn't work so I had a broken package on my system. I then wanted to fix it with synaptic package manager which then told me in order to remove it, I had to pretty much uninstall all of linux. I then tried installing the older version of libc6 (the one I'm supposed to have: 2.7-18lenny2). That gave me the error code
dpkg -i '///home/sam/torrents/libc6_2.7-18lenny2_i386.deb' ;echo RESULT=$?
dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
RESULT=2
I already checked my path and it was: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin (I found it with echo $PATH)
I guess my path is okay so the problem is in ldconfig but how can I get ldconfig in the path and where could it be now?

I think I need to upgrade my libfaac libraries due to some problems I am having with ffmpeg (the libraries are in the package 'libfaac0'). However, it won't install it because my version of libc6 is really out of date, supposedly (but it is actually the most up-to-date version).Do I need to manually upgrade libc6 or is something else messed up? I don't want to do anything that would put me at risk of screwing up a lot of dependencies.

Booted my laptop up for the first time in a while and ran
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade to get updates for my packages. After installing I needed a reboot since I was on kernel 2.6.35-28. Post-reboot, I get stuck on a black screen with random artifacts after the purple screen after Grub, regardless of kernel (back to 2.6.35-22 is the oldest I have) with exception to the recovery mode options. Pressing the power button will shutdown the system in what seems to be the usual manner. The screen changes to the purple with ubuntu in the middle and the dot loading bar and shuts down.
I booted into recovery mode and opted to repair packages and rebooted but to no avail. I can get into a terminal by editing the boot options in Grub swapping out " quiet splash vt.handoff=7 " with "--verbose". Currently have a terminal on kernel 2.6.38-10 Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit. Win 7 partition also boots fine.This feels like a driver issue, but I'm not sure. Boot log (/var/log/boot.log) looks fine except for these lines:
Code:
fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3: clean, 262541/8560640 files, 2310841/36228480 blocks
init: ureadahead-other main process (723) terminated with status 4
The first 2 shouldn't be affecting my Ubuntu boot in this manner (other than failing to automatically mount my NTFS partition, which is a different problem), however the last one worries me. Doing some research on the termination status 4 of ureadahead-other I came across this page here, but am wary to just go around willy-nilly deleting things I don't know much about. It wouldn't be a great loss to simply blow the disk away and restart, but I'd rather salvage what's there if I can..

I have a Diamond Viper Video Card, Riva TNT2. It worked great with Lenny. I upgraded to Squeeze and the most I can get is 1024-768 which is not what I want. I have read a number of posts but none seem to be specific to my situation. My monitor is a Samsung synchmaster 205BW. xserver-xorg-video-nv is installed as is xserver-xorg-video-nouveau.

I then got this output trying to add the gpg key.

What is the recommended way to do updates when running sid (especially those involving updates of xorg or desktop environments as they should not be running at that time)? I imagine this would be safe:
1. # apt-get update
2. # apt-get dist-upgrade -d
3. Switch to a text mode terminal (say, tty1).
4. # /etc/init.d/kdm stop
5. # apt-get dist-upgrade
Or simply using init 1.

Upgraded Wheezy to Jessie, by changing my apt sources to point at stable instead of wheezy. Ran upgrade, and dist-upgrade, all fine etc.
Then tried to update the kernel by installing linux-image-amd64 package .. seemed to work fine, but after a reboot my kernel version still says 3.10.23
What have I missed?
Code: Select allroot@hostname:~# apt-cache search linux-image
linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64 - Header files for Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 - Linux 3.16 for 64-bit PCs

I installed wrong version from this package (I didn't knew that libc6 was very important package) so now i get a lot of errors. I tracked the original version and downloaded it. I have it on my PC as .deb package but i can't install it because it's older version then the installed one. Normally, I would first remove the old package and then install new. But now I'm not sure because I don't know will my edubuntu work without the libc6 package. Version of my edbuntu is 7.04 installed on asus eee 900HA. I only have internet on my desktop PC.

I've been setting up a Lenovo Thinkpad T420i and have gotten most of the kinks worked out, except for the fact that the display has some annoying artifacts as you navigate around, I guess due to bad video support. A post [URL].. on the same machine said that upgrading all X packages to sid (unstable) fixed these problems, but those packages aren't available in stable.
I read another post (can't find the link now) that said Debian wasn't planning on backporting all the X packages, only related libraries and modules. And I don't know which ones specifically would fix the issues I'm having.
So I thought I'd ask what my options are. I could update all those to unstable, but that doesn't seem optimal (and in the future I don't want unstable bugs bringing down my whole X session). Is there a way to find out what I need and backport some myself. Or do I just need to wait until the appropriate packages filter down to stable (or at least backports)?

I have now got three machines with Debian on in my home. I use Mobile Broadband with a very modest monthly limit and remember somehow using Synaptic to gather either Updates or packages to download on one machine where there was another type of internet and could then move the packages back to my computer. Can anyone here remind me of what I would have done there or suggest a means of getting these three updated without blowing my limit. I'd either use a relative's broadband and my netbook, or do the Updates once at home and move the packages to the other two machines.
I'm using Debian 6.01, Gnome edition, 64 bit, on an Atom N450 netbook, a 3ghz dual core AMD pc and a a 2 ghz single core AMD pc, whatever of this is relevant. They have slightly different programs installed but are at the same stage of not being updated yet, with 252mb of them to add.

My Debian Lenny box has two hard drives: a smaller one, upon which I installed the system and a 500GB drive which, during installation, I assigned for mounting as the "/home" directory. A few days ago, the smaller (system) hard drive crashed. Although fsck was able to make the drive mountable again, many system files (esp. things like inittab) were lost.
Since the machine, itself, had actually been pretty old when I first installed Debian (Etch, originally), I am going to be replacing it with a new system and I have a few questions about getting this all done.
First of all, the old computer was a Pentium 4 and the new one is a Dual-core, 64-bit Pentium (E6600) with 4GB RAM and a 500GB SATA drive. I'd like to install 64-bit Debian Squeeze onto that drive and, since I've never used the 64-bit Debian before, would like to know if there are any pitfalls or caveats - especially any dire reasons I should stick with 32 bits, instead.
Next, I would like to keep the other 500GB (IDE) drive mounted on "/home" so that my things would be where they already were on the old system - especially files relating to Iceweasel and Icedove. Of course, there are no binaries on that drive, since I had all of that on the drive that crashed, but are there any other things I must take into consideration? Also, what would be the best way to make that drive "/home" during the new installation without wiping it out, but having it ready for when I create the users so I can point them to their appropriate directories?
Finally, since the old computer had been an Etch system that had been upgraded to Lenny and since I would be installing Squeeze (and, likely, the 64-bit Squeeze, at that) onto the new system, would there be any problems with the above scenario, considering the potential of older configuration files, etc. on the old "/home" drive?
My subject line says, "Updating while moving to new machine," but these really may not be "update" questions, per se. Then again, the presence of that old hard drive does introduce some update-like elements into the equation, and that is why I am asking these questions.
