It could be argued that the handling of this biarch stuff is a mess, but anyway. This was fixed in the past when we gave dpkg-shlibdeps support to handle /lib/ldconfig/ symlinks. Now it's gone, so the proper fix is for the package providing such libs in such nasty paths to add a file under /etc/ld.so.conf.d with those, and for dpkg-shlibdeps to read those files. I'll implement that tomorrow or the day after (I'm traveling today). regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
