If you actually looked at what '/usr/lib/libc.so.6' is linked to,
you would see it is /usr/lib/libc.so. If you then actually did some
further investigation, you would see:
------------------------------------------------------
nosferatu root # file /usr/lib/libc.so
/usr/lib/libc.so: ASCII C program text
nosferatu root # cat /usr/lib/libc.so
/* GNU ld script
Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
the static library, so try that secondarily. */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a )
nosferatu root #
------------------------------------------------------
Meaning: It is NOT a dynamic library, meaning anything that tries to
link to it during runtime will do what his mplayer does.
Conclusion: The symlink is bogus/invalid, and should be removed.
