Hey, you're right. I am rather sure that at some point, cat was
a builtin, but cp etc were not. But now (with both the bo and
hamm bash) they seem not to be builtins.

Re: How to fix ldso? Urgent.
Hi Joost,
Success!
This is what I had to start with:-
elm# cd /lib ; ll ld*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 161677 Jun 5 21:35 ld-2.0.4.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root22305 Jul 19 03:13 ld-linux.so.1.8.10*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 3 18:19 ld-linux.so.2 -
ld-2.0.4.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root20640 Mar 4 01:42 ld.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 103272 Jul 19 03:13 ld.so.1.8.10*
I still had some functionality - the bash internals worked, mount and cp
worked, so after a long look at your message I:-
on another box, extracted ldso_1.9 to a floppy
mounted the floppy in my box
cd /lib
cp /floppy/lib/ld-linux.so.1.9.2 .
ln -s ld-linux.so.1.9.2 ld-linux.so.1
This left me with:-
elm# ll ld*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 161677 Jun 5 21:35 ld-2.0.4.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 23 08:52 ld-linux.so.1 -
ld-linux.so.1.9.2*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root22305 Jul 19 03:13 ld-linux.so.1.8.10*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root22257 Jul 23 08:50 ld-linux.so.1.9.2*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 3 18:19 ld-linux.so.2 -
ld-2.0.4.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root20640 Mar 4 01:42 ld.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 103272 Jul 19 03:13 ld.so.1.8.10*
elm#
I installed a small package with dpkg to see how it went and then
dpkg -i .../ldso_1.9.2-3
and it all seems fine. I didn't even lose my net connection.
Many thanks, Joost. I hope that I carried out the intent if not the
letter of your suggestions. I owe you one.
I have a spare partition here and much spare time so any time you want a
destructive test carried out, pehaps along the above lines, I am quite
happy to oblige. Putting Debian back on from my cdrom (thank you, LSL) is
a breeze.

I've been in this situation too, and now (months aferwords) I realise that
probably the way to fix this is by typing:
cd /lib
echo ld*
Now you will see a list of ld* files. On my (working) system, I have
/lib# ls ld*
ld-2.0.4.so*ld-linux.so.1.9.2* ld.so*
ld-linux.so.1@ ld-linux.so.2@
I believe you will mis at least two symlinks here, but I'm not sure
which ones any more.
Then, type
/lib# cat ld-linux.so.1.9.2 ld-linux.so.1
or
/lib# cat ld-2.0.4.sold-linux.so.2
(replacing ld-linux.so.1 or ld-linux.so.2 by whatever links
you are missing, possibly ld.so).
After that, I *think* you've got a wroking system again.
Please, Please, tell me if this worked!

You don't have bash as your shell, but something else (kiss or somethign):
rulcmc:~$ type mount
mount is /bin/mount
rulcmc:~$ type cp
cp is /bin/cp
i.e., mount and cp arn't bash internals. But cat is, so that's why I
suggested the use of cat ...
But if you had cp available, I'm rather sure that just saying:
cd /lib
cp ld-linux.so.1.8.10 ld-linux.so.1
would have done the job too (care to try it out? :)
Many thanks, Joost. I hope that I carried out the intent if not the

Well, the intent was to save your system. So, yes you carried out
the intent. It's not quite the letter, and I still sortof wonder
wheter cat would have worked. At the time I had the problem, I didn't
think of using cat (and cp, mount, etc also were not available for me),
so I compiled my own statically linked version of cp, put it on a
NFS volume I happened to have mounted on a different computer, and
then used that static cp on my main computer to save it.
But later I realised that cat should just also save your system.
Anyway, I think about downgrading to ld.so-1.8 myself no, and try
the cat method (the only one available for people that use real
bash). If it works, I'll post a letter about that weekly to debian-user,
explaining future victims how to save their systems.
Thanks,

How to fix ldso? Urgent.
My box has both libc5 and libc6 installed. I just made a mistake and downgraded ldso_1.9.2-2 to ldso_1.8.10-2.1. Now I don't seem to be able to run any commands - certainly not dpkg at any rate.
