<Fujitsu> minghua: You could always manually extract the file in question.
<RAOF> You can't just mount up your hardy root and dpkg -x a working libc to it?
 * LaserJock was going to mention something about hijacking
<LaserJock> perhaps it's a little late in the evening for that though
 * Fujitsu sends iwj after LaserJock.
<minghua> Fujitsu: Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to do.
<LaserJock> minghua: send iwj after me? :(
<minghua> RAOF: Using which dpkg?
<RAOF> minghua: Sid's, presumably, since Hardy's will be linked to a broken libc :)
<minghua> RAOF: Exactly.  That's why I said "Debian unstable's dpkg refuse to work on the hardy partition" at the beginning.
<minghua> RAOF: "dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `mlocate' in statoverride file" is the error message.
<RAOF> minghua: I think we may be talking past each other.  Sid's dpkg presumably works in Sid, right?
<StevenK> That's probably a symptom, not the problem
<StevenK> NSS looks busted in Hardy due to the latest glibc upload.
<RAOF> So, you boot into Debian, mount hardy's root to /media/please-fix-my-root, and dpkg -x libc6_version_that_works.deb /media/please-fix-my-root, right?
<minghua> RAOF: "dpkg --root=/mnt --install libc6_2.7-5ubuntu2_i386.deb" in unstable gives the error message above.
<RAOF> minghua: Ah, you're trying to do something better than me.  I was just trying to get you a working libc.so.6, so you could use hardy's dpkg again :)
