Subject: libc6: postinstallation error

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-6
Followup-For: Bug #328440

apt-get install libc6 gives the following error message:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: line 459: 2118 Segmentation fault ldconfig
dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libc6
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The system's still running but I'm no longer capable of upgrading via apt
because libc6 needs to be configured... The system is a 9500/200 which
cannot run on a kernel version 2.2 higher than 2.2 (yet).
