Could you please send the output of:
objdump -T /lib/libc.so.6| grep __fxstat64
objdump -T /usr/bin/python| grep __fxstat64
apt-cache policy python
apt-cache policy python2.6

Thanks

It seems you have a custom or corrupted libc? Try reinstalling libc6.

I actually got three errors while updating the system. This bug, #569425 and #569426. But they are not about libc6. Should I reinstall libc6?

Thanks.

[Loïc Minier (lool)]

Yes; it's all related to your libc.

Could you also attach the output of:
ldd -r /usr/bin/python

Ok; no idea where the issue is, then.

For completeness, could you attach the output of:
objdump -T /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6| grep __fxstat64

albeit I have no idea why it's not working for you.

Hi Loïc,

I just have reinstalled the libc6 via synaptic. After that I was able to reinstall successfully all three packages which installation failed last time.
I also noticed that all 3 packages was marked as "installed" in synaptic BEFORE I reinstalled them.

Anyway, it is only RC and I'm looking forward to final release.

Thank you for your efforts!

[Loïc Minier (lool)]

Ok, if reinstalling fixed it then it was probably local corruption; thanks
