[Bug 1657746] Re: package libc6-dev 2.23-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: unable to make backup link of './usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/Mcrt1.o' before installing new version: Input/output error

[Marc Deslauriers]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public
