libc crashes any program after update

[apm]

I have just run an apt upgrade (hardy) about an hour or two ago and since then I cannot run any programs anymore.

Already the update process failed with loads of errors. There seems to be a generic problem with libc or malloc, as any program I try and start crashes with stacktrace and a memory map printout. Programs that were still open during the update continued to work fine.

Unfortunately I cannot give any detailed descriptions of the errors at the moment, as I tried restarting my computer and it no longer boots either.

Please let me know if there is any way I can repair my ubuntu installation

Thank you

I have just seen this has already been reported as bug 201673 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/201673). Hadn't seen it before, as it didn't seem to be listed under the hardy bugs

sorry for the noise.
