You might want to do something like: find / -name \*.la -print | xargs grep /tmp/buildd/libtool-1.4.2/debian/tmp/usr/lib/libltdl.la This will tell you which package is broken so you can report it to Debian. This is probably related to the "libtool relinking problem" (I don't have the Debian bugID handy) -- some people figured the right way to fix libtool was to get it not to relink, and well that isn't really the right answer. Similarly, some people think the right way to "install" is to use --prefix=, instead of using DESTDIR, and that screws up libtool, too. > I'm running Debian Testing with bits of unstable and g-wrap 1.3.2 > manually installed. > Am I missing a program or something? No, you've got a program that was built (well, installed) poorly. That 'find' command will tell you which package(s) is(are) broken. Once you find that, you can rename the XXX.la out of the way (I would recommend XXX.la.b0rked).
