Upgrading Ubuntu(32 bit) 10.10 -> 11.04 fails and causes a kernel panic on boot
- by Ubuntu Upgrade
On Ubuntu 10.10 machine Upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 using the update manager. The upgrade fails and leaves the system in an unstable state. When I reboot the system I get a kernel panic on boot. The error points to /opt/abc/runtime/lib/libc.so.6.
By researching on this I found that there is a third party software abc causes problem. It has it's own runtime(libc) library. In /lib/ directory there is a link file /lib/ld-abc.so.2 ---/opt/abc/runtime/lib/ld-linux.so.2.
If we rename this file to /lib/abc.so.2 or remove this file the the upgrade is success.
Here is the upgrade log of where it crashes(apt-term.log)
=====
Services restarted successfully.
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
/usr/bin/dpkg: /opt/abc/runtime/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/bin/dpkg)
/usr/bin/dpkg: /opt/abc/runtime/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by /lib/libselinux.so.1)
=====
Could you please let me know what would be the problem of having a run time link library file in /lib directory. Does the ubuntu upgrade check the 3rd part runtime as well?
