Bug Description
I am on amd64 karmic koala Ubuntu 9.10.
I used the Admin menu "Hardware Drivers" to install the sl-modem driver. During that the system hung itself up and the caps-lock began to blink (that was the last thing to see alive, mouse would not move everything else was frozen up).
Now (after hard reboot) trying to use Update Manager ends in "Please sudo dpkg --configure -a" which ends in:
Setting up libc6-i386 (2.10.1-0ubuntu15) ...
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-installation script: Exec format error
dpkg: error processing libc6-i386 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of sl-modem-daemon:
sl-modem-daemon depends on libc6-i386 (>= 2.4); however:
Package libc6-i386 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing sl-modem-daemon (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of lib32asound2:
lib32asound2 depends on libc6-i386 (>= 2.7); however:
Package libc6-i386 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing lib32asound2 (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc6-i386
sl-modem-daemon
lib32asound2
What now? Reinstall the whole PC? (laptop HP tx2500)
