Your dpkg is confused and is reporting old data (which does sometimes happen; I think there are bug reports about it). Package: ldso Priority: optional Section: oldlibs Installed-Size: 188 Maintainer: David Engel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: ld.so Version: 1.9.11-15 Replaces: libc6 Provides: libdl1 Depends: libc6 (>=2.1.94) Filename: pool/main/l/ld.so/ldso_1.9.11-15_i386.deb Size: 78980 MD5sum: e36262f73c3229568281e1e3ee38af36 Description: The Linux dynamic linker and library for libc4 and libc5. This dynamic linker provides the user-level support for loading and linking DLL and ELF shared libraries. You do not need this package unless you have very old programs which use libc4 or libc5. The libc6 package has its own dynamic linker that is used for all current programs. I'm not sure that libc6 actually needs to generate this file, though.
