dpkg broken while upgrading Debian Etch to Lenny
- by artvolk
Good day!
While trying to recover a box to lenny it seems I've broken things. It upgrades libc and glib after that dpkg seems to be broken.
I can run apt-get, but it gets segmentation fault from dpkg:
# apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 316 not upgraded.
9 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
/bin/sh: line 1: 4606 Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault.
I can login via SSH but even ls is not working:
# ls
Segmentation fault
Is there anything I can do remotelly via SSH?
# ldd /bin/ls

It seems I've temporary fixed it with:
# touch /etc/ld.so.nohwcap
