I've got a Debian 2.2 system down...
After attempting to install the libreadline4 and libreadline4-dev packages
(which partially failed), I now repeatedly receive the following error
message:
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: /bin/bash: undefined
symbol: history_max_entries
This problem disables my ability to enter any other init level other than
single-user mode. For example: init 3 results in:
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: /bin/bash: undefined
symbol: history_max_entries
At boot, using any shell, I receive the same error just before the console
login appears. I've tried forcibly removing the packages, but the error
persists.
As it is I had to run an init=/bin/tcsh at lilo in order to even get into
single-user mode. I am unable to login using bash or sh. Ldconfig -v comes
back OK.
I could only find this one reference:

Unfortunately, I don't have any backups of this particular system. Has
anyone seen this before?
