Installing hardy-alpha-6 + upgrade breaks apt

[Toltech]

Binary package hint: base-installer

Release: hardy-alpha 6

Item: installation problem with server installation disk

Problem description:
Install hardy alpha 6, reboot and execute "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade"
1) ufw has a configuration problem, the upgrade process ends with an error
2) apt gets broken
3) system does not reboot

More specific description of apt problem:
apt-get update gives a memory error using a wrong free() statement
this appears to happen in the http module of apt

Expected result:
upgrade with no error, fully functional apt, a system which can still boot

> apt-get update gives a memory error using a wrong free() statement
Does it look like this:

*** glibc detected *** sudo: free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7ce3b28 ***

If so, this is a dupe of bug #201673.

[Toltech (robert-toltech)]

This seems to be a dupe of bug #201673.
After pinning the libc6 version as described in specified bug the problem did not return.

This bug can be marked as a duplicatie
