error while loading shared libraries: __vdso_time: invalid mode for dlopen()

Hi,

I tried to upgrade my libc-2.15.so to libc-2.17.so on my debian wheezy but something went wrong and i can't fix it.

When i try 'ls' or 'rm' or 'sudo' i get the following:

ls: error while loading shared libraries: __vdso_time: invalid mode for dlopen(): Invalid argument

I found this:

but that doesn't work for me. How can i fix this?

How did you try to update the library?

Best way to fix I'd would be to boot into a live cd, mount all the usual system partitions to /mnt, mount proc sys, dev and alike into /mnt. Then chroot into it and reinstall libc.

Well i downloaded and installed libc6-udeb_2.17-97_amd64.udeb but the software where i needed it for still said the version wasn't right... so i looked in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and saw that libc.so.6 was pointing to libc-2.15 and created a link to libc2.17 instead.

I'll try and fix it with the livecd.

libc is one off the most important libraries on the system. Most other libraries depend on it. So updating this one should be left to the package manager and not done by hand.
