Title:
libc-bin/libc6 inverted deps causes nss to fail and can make dpkg-
statoverride explode, killing the upgrade
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I've just had a lucid -> precise upgrade explode in my face. libc-bin
was installed before libc6 and as a result, there was a period where
nss was broken, after libc-bin had been upgraded, but before libc6
had. nss being broken caused dpkg-statoverride to explode on almost
any use (because there was a override that used a group provided by
NSS, not in /etc/group). dpkg-statoverride failing caused the libc6
install to fail and subsequently do-release-upgrade also. I've
attached the dist-upgrade logs from the failed run.
