[parisc-linux] update of libc?

[Tilo Riemer]

Hello,

is it dangerous to make an update of libc from 2.2.5 to 2.3.x?
At the moment I have only remote access to the affected host.


Best regards, Tilo

I've just dist-upgrade'd all my machines. Libc still works (including a
B132L+ and a 712), but you should be aware of module-init-tools if
you're already using 2.6.x.

# touch /etc/modprobe.d/arch/generic 

...helps you over a bug in the .deb ...

Hello,

thanks for all hints.

I could update to libc 2.3 without problems. All seems to work...

There is no 2.3.x glibc available for debian, it's currently being
fixed. I apologize for the delay, it's more difficult than usual.

No?

b132l-1:~# dpkg -l libc6

For me, that one works and seems to be 2.3.x... However, what are
current libc's problems?

Sorry, 2.3.2, my brain isn't responding to the usual shock treatment.
