Okay, I added a whole pile of debugging statments into it, and kept
running it as root - it is picking up the parameter configure, but the
files aren't updating. So next I tried executing a direct command from
the postinst file, to explicitly update the i386 file (as root): update-
alternatives
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a
specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu
in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source
packages so that people
sorry I didn't list a specific package, it's cause I'm not sure if it's
the nVidia/AMD packages, or related to another package. I did
deinstall/reinstall the video drivers numerous times over the weekend
(first thought was drivers didn't install properly, then started
thinking bug in the actual
Starting my tracing... But I think the bug is in a script of a package
that uses libc-bin, and it isn't a bug in libc-bin.

Sorry, this is not a libc-bin bug... But looking through the postinst
scripts for the package's for both the ATI and nVidia drivers, it
appears that for some reason when the script is executed, the script's
in the 64-bit packages are skipping neumerous update-alternative lines,
hence ldconfig
I know, this is taking me a while - I'm not a script kitty or a
programmer, so I'm not the swiftest at picking out on what's happening -
it's study-study, and rip appart and slowly nit pick my way through the
scripts while I'm jugling other tasks). ;-)
At any rate, with the AMD fglrx-updates
Given that dpkg is passing a parameter ($1) onto the scripts, I
beleive the target package is dpkg.

Better more effective work around - extract the postinst files from the
appropriate deb files and then execute them as root:
**@:~/temp$ ./postinst configure
That got it!

Err, no it didn't - not on my Laptop or Ubuntu Studio build (forgot to
remove the lines from the ld.so.conf files). Command line parameters
(in this case configure) are not being passed into the scripts. I
really hope this isn't affecting other packages or distro's. :-(
