Bug#706915: adequate: ldd failure doesn't print enough information

[Jakub Wilk]

I setup the adequate hook and I got an error today, but this error isn't helpful, it should print some information about what went wrong so people can either report a bug on adequate or on the package that caused the failure.

Agreed.

...
Setting up xmabacus (7.7.1-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/X11/app-defaults/Abacus ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Processing triggers for menu ...
ldd -r: failed at /usr/bin/adequate line 440, <$ldd> line 10.
E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Post-Invoke 'adequate --help >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| exit 0; exec adequate --debconf --user nobody --pending'
E: Sub-process returned an error code

Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to reproduce this. :(
Can you test the attached patch?
