unzip from sid requires libc5
I ran deborphan last week and removed libc5, among others. I received a zip file today and found that unzip 5.50-1 from unstable requires libc5 but apt-cache show unzip does not have it listed as a requirement. Seems odd that a program in unstable would require an old version libc or am I missing something.

Right. ldd /usr/bin/unzip shows libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001b000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000) It is something screwed up with 'my' account! It gives this error unzip: can't load library 'libc.so.5' when run as me but works fine when run as root. Just tried other users and it is OK there. Greping my home dir for unzip comes up empty so I don't have anything in bash* causing it. Logging out and back in doesn't fix it but installing libc5 does (???). My home dir goes back 6-7 years and I am running woody/Sid currently. It has to be something in there, I guess. Weird I'm looking...

Well it is a strange fix but I got it to work in my account, without libc5. As I said this in an 'old' home dir. In .bash_profile I had a path statement the ended with :$PATH. It was preceeded by about 10-12 dirs. echo $PATH showed that the path (/usr/bin) was the 14th or 15th in the list. I re-arranged the PATH to have the $PATH:(the rest of the dirs), did '. .bash_profile', echo $PATH and /usr/bin was second in the list. As root I removed libc5 and then ran unzip in my account. Works like a charm again. I was not aware that there was a limit (is there?) on the length of the PATH statement. My old path statement was the problem. Funny it had worked fine for so long and never bit me before. Thanks Sean Wayne -- My software never has bugs.

SOLVED unzip from sid requires libc5

Funny it had worked fine for so long and never bit me before. Well there 'may' be a limit but that was 'not' the real problem. It seems that my path statement contains '/root/bin' as I keep a bunch of scripts there that I run from my account. That dir preceeded /usr/bin and I had an unzip file there that 'did' require libc5. ISTR that I put it there 3-4 years ago when there was a problem with with the current .deb file. The sig below comes up randomly but seem to fit my current condition. Hope someone learns from this old mans mistake. Thanks guys!
