Package: ldso
Version: 1.9.11-5
I tried to upgrade to libc6_2.1.2-6 and ldso_1.9.11-5. apt-get does it
fine. Then the next time I use dselect, it reports some conflict and
proposes to deinstall libc6 (and everything depending on it). Not very
helpful. The culprit seems to be that ldso_1.9.11-5 claims to replace libc6:
# dpkg -I deb/ldso_1.9.11-5.deb
new debian package, version 2.0.

Package: ldso
Version: 1.9.11-5
Architecture: i386
Essential: yes
Conflicts: ldconfig
Replaces: ldconfig, libc6
Provides: ldconfig, libdl1
Installed-Size: 569
Maintainer: David Engel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Source: ld.so
Description: The Linux dynamic linker, library and utilities.
The dynamic linker provides the user-level support for loading and
linking DLL and ELF shared libraries. It is required by any program
that uses shared libraries.
.
WARNING: Do NOT downgrade this package to version 1.8.x or earlier.
Doing so may leave your system in an unusable state.
Older versions of ldso didn't claim to replace libc6. I removed the libc6
from Replaces and everything works like a charm. I'm new at this, so I may
have gotten it wrong...

Hi,
This report appears to have resulted from a combination of a packaging
quirk during a transition and user inexperience... closing.
