• libcrypt1 1:4.4.10-5 packaging error?

    From Bob Tracy@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 14 07:10:02 2019
    Tried to install the latest libc6.1 this evening, and ran into an issue
    with the "libcrypt1" installation. Specifically, "perl" is looking for "libcrypt.so.1.1", and after the new "libcrypt1" package gets
    installed, the following library and symlinks exist under "/usr/lib/alpha-linux-gnu":

    libcrypt.so -> libcrypt.so.1.1.0
    libcrypt.so.1 -> libcrypt.so.1.1.0
    libcrypt.so.1.1.0

    Without a "libcrypt.so.1.1" symlink, the new "libc6.1" package and
    its dependencies cannot be configured. Adding the symlink and then
    running "dpkg --configure -a" takes care of the problem.

    Yeah, I saw that too while upgrading a chroot, and solved it
    in exactly the same way!

    It's bug #946599.

    Cheers,
    Michael.
