I have no ldd executable. I installed slink onto a tabula rasa i386 PC a few days ago, using 3.5" floppies for the base system. Once I'd installed the base, I did an `apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade`. What I didn't realize, or think to look for, is that the slink base install included an /etc/apt/sources.list file that pointed at stable. (!!!)
So I updated it to point at slink and did an `apt-get update ; apt-get -f dist-upgrade`. That seemed to work fine, but there were a few packages missing files, for instance telnet was installed, but there was no telnet executable. The command `apt-get check` showed no discrepancies, so instead I did `dpkg --purge telnet ; apt-get install telnet`. That worked. So yesterday I tried to run ldd, and it's not there. As near as I can tell it should be in ldso or libc6 (based on info from dpkg, the #debian irc bot): > !search ldd <dpkg> potstickr: behold, ldd is in this package: base/libc6,base/ldso +(/usr/bin/ldd) But neither of those packages, as installed on my system, contain ldd: $ dpkg -L ldso libc6 | grep -i ldd /usr/lib/lddstub /usr/man/man1/ldd.1.gz All packages on the system are current. Debian won't let you uninstall either libc6 or ldso - for good reason. So what do I do? Can I somehow re-run the postinst script for one of them and fix the problem, or will that dork things? Thanks in advance for your help, morgan -- VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV >> M o r g a n F l e t c h e r http://www.hahaha.org << >> Tibi gratias agimus quod nihil fumas.
