E.g., how do you arrange for /lib-sid to be used? Is it on a separate partition? How do upgrades work?

They are getting used after the upgrade, instead of: | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2011-06-13 03:21 /lib-sid/ld-linux.so.2 -> i386-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-01-20 15:52 /lib-sid/ld-lsb.so.1 -> ld-linux.so.2 | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-01-20 15:52 /lib-sid/ld-lsb.so.2 -> ld-linux.so.2 | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-01-20 15:52 /lib-sid/ld-lsb.so.3 -> ld-linux.so.2 So the question above about how /lib-sid is managed is apparently very relevant. (Side note: libc6.preinst tries to check for stray ld-*.so files, but I see a loophole in that: # Binaries owned packages are considered to do the right thing if dpkg-query -L libc6 2>/dev/null | grep -q "$i"; then continue fi The grep pattern should be anchored and it would be comforting to check for diversions. if test -z "$(dpkg-divert --listpackage "$i")" && dpkg-query -L libc6 2>/dev/null | grep -q "^$i\$"; then continue fi ) > I am also attaching my /etc/profile. Thanks much for that. From the logs you sent, it seems that the crashing programs are using libc 2.11[*]. I also see: > # normal path and libraries: > export > PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/games > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib Presumably this (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) will explain the difference between interactive and noninteractive behavior once we understand the relationship between /lib and /lib-sid a little better.
