After doing a distribution upgrade from slink to potato, I keep
getting errors about /usr/lib/libslang.so not existing.
Doing ldconfig /usr/lib results in
ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libslang.so (No such file or
directory), skipping
ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libslang.so (No such file or
directory), skipping
The libslang contents of /usr/lib are as follows:-
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Nov 3 00:31 libslang-ja.so.1 -
libslang-ja.so.1.2.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 242144 Jun 1 04:37 libslang-ja.so.1.2.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 335618 Aug 13 13:20 libslang.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 13 13:23 libslang.so -
/lib/libslang.so.1.2.2
The problem is that I have a dangling symlink here.
1) Should I have an English libslang here? Or should I delete the symlink?
2) I have one in /lib as so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Nov 2 23:57 libslang.so.1 -
libslang.so.1.3.9
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 328428 Oct 14 08:59 libslang.so.1.3.9
Should this be here? Should it be in /usr/lib instead, or symlinked
from there?
If I try an apt-get install slang1 it tells me I already have the
newest version, so I'm not quite sure where to go from here. I
daren't reboot without sorting this out as libslang is in the base
distribution, and quite a few upgrades did not go smoothly because of
this libslang problem.
Any advice appreciated.
Neil.
