Throw a newbie a bone........ ldconfig should be in libc6_2.2.4-7*.deb. Perhaps, the package never got properly installed? Anyway, if you can: $ cd /tmp $ ar -x /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.2.4-7*deb $ tar -xvzf data.tar.gz ./sbin/ldconfig $ cp ./sbin/ldconfig /sbin (The leading "."'s are important!). It used to be another package provided ldconfig (ld.so, I believe...). > Which package do I install to fix my ldconfig? > Should I do an install of libc6 from sources?

Note, if going backwards, you may need to reinstall older "ldso" (??). -- Eric G. Miller <[email protected]>
