Since any library which gets installed in /usr/lib will actually be installed in /lib, ldd will always return that the used library is /lib/libbar.so, not /usr/lib, while packages will always install them in /usr/lib (really hard to fix in *every* package !), that can't be fixed provided the hurd's symlink. > By the way, the same problem arises if you link /usr to /mnt/space/usr > or any other linking. No, because unless you add /mnt/space/usr to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ldd will correctly find used librairies in /usr/lib (and this matches dpkg's idea), there's no possible confusion here. Regards, Samuel
