I aborted an "apt-get install" run with ^C and the above was left in the /usr/lib directory. After that attempts to install the package aborted with the following error: dpkg-deb: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/zlib1g_1%3a1.2.3.4.dfsg-3_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 127 I believe that a ^C should be handled in such a way that the sym-links match up. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 6.10-6 The GNU core utilities ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-1+lenny1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii xz-utils 4.999.9beta+20091116-1.1 XZ-format compression utilities ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime dpkg recommends no packages.
