Debian Gurus: I'm trying to upgrade libc6 in my UML session at Real-Time from libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 to libc6_2.3.5-6 but this never completes successfully. I understand that upgrading libc6 is "pulling the rug" out from under sshd and it's understandable that my ssh connection is getting closed. I've tried to start this upgrade as a background process with (alternatively): apt-get -q -y install libc6 > /tmp/apt.log 2>&1 & apt-get -q -y -f install > /tmp/install.log 2>&1 & dpkg -i libc6_2.3.5-6_i386.deb > /tmp/dpkg.log 2>&1 & Each without success. And all I see in the logs is Preparing to replace libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 (using libc6_2.3.5-6_i386.deb) ... I've looked at the following bugs, but have not found a resolution: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=325504 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=205039 Is there a way to perform this upgrade when getting to a real console or even a serial port is not a possibility? Thanks! --Tom
