    Hello,
    I'm trying to upgrade libc from 2.3.2.ds1-19 to 2.3.2.ds2-20, and
    apt-get install libc gives the following error message:

    dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-20_i386.deb (--unpack):
     unable to install new version of `./lib/ld-2.3.2.so': Device or resource busy
    dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-20_i386.deb
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    there are a couple of similar bugs that came up on google, but
    they all said they'd been resolved, and the solutions seemed to
    consist of rebooting. I've tried with both my 2.6.10 and 2.4.26
    kernels, as well as booting from a rescue disk. I'm thinking
    maybe it has something to do with reiserfs?

    Thanks,
    Spencer
