dpkg error upgr libc6: A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory
The following is from a flash-based persistent install of Knoppix 6.4 (I believe this is what you call a poor man's install). According to the Debian BTS, this bug in libc6 is "fixed", but it is not fixed for me.
Since now I can't install reportbug (or anything else), I can't report this "bug" to Debian even if I wanted to.
