HELP! bonobo-activation-server borked after update possibly due to libc-bin 2.11.1

[john]

Hi all,

I just applied the latest bunch of updates on a stock Lucid system and
now I can't start firefox, evolution, dia and apparently any other app
that requires bonobo-activiation-server or libc-bin


dmesg is full of errors like this:

Tryed to start evolution from the command which fails and I see errors
about bonobo and libc-2.11.1.so in /var/log/messages:

I would appreciate any help folks can render!
