[parisc-linux] Something broke dselect/apt...

[Tom]

Unfortunately I wasn't watching the update - it's been a little too stable
lately, I guess...

I ran apt-get update/upgrade on Monday - all working. Just ran it again
this morning, had ~9 packages updated. All updated fine - no errors on the
update - but then apt-* fails to work with "error while loading shared
libraries - /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3.so.3.2: undefined symbol:
_cp_push_exception". Trying to run dselect gives "error while loading
shared libraries: dselect: undefined symbol: __rethrow".

Has anyone noticed this yet and/or noticed something I may have goofed up?
I believe there was a palo update in there, plus one of the libc6-*
packages, but other than that I've no idea...

Thanks!

This is because you have picked up a new libstdc++3, but not a new apt.
We tried to update both together, but in the event, apt got delayed by
a day.  You need to grab the new apt.deb and install with dpkg -i.
It should appear in <ftp://ftp.debian.org:/debian/pool/main/a/apt/>
in a few hours.

Installing the apt packages from there allowed apt-get update/upgrade to
run, which fixed dselect. However, I'm getting the same libapt/libc6 error
when installing packages - they download, then I get that error when it's
apparently trying to preprocess them. After the error they install fine
and everything works...

Am going to let it sit for a few days, see what else shakes loose as far
as updates are concerned, then worry about it if it's still giving the
errors...

Thanks for the response!
