Bug Description
Binary package hint: libc6
ANY reinstallation of lib-c6-even with the same version-causes an immediate crash and return to the login screen. If you "startx" from a shell, you get a "caught signal 11, x server aborting" error. Commenting out the "arabeyes" font referred to in another bug that gives the same symptoms has no effect in this case, but the trackback does refer to fonts, as in that case. Only GUI login is to terminal, which then has no borders or window controls without "metacity-
This crash showed itself only after doing anything that involved a replacement or reinstallation of libc6(with ANY version). As long as I don't mess with libc6, the system works fine. I found this out after 4 experimental installations.

CLARIFICATION- The immediate crash is on every attempt to log in, NOT immediately on reinstallation of libc6! Things work OK until the next time you reboot-then you cannot log in except by "fail safe terminal" and the above symptoms result-every attempt at a GUI login instantly crashes and the login screen comes back up.
