The question is why did you do that initially? Because of a failed upgrade to version 2.13-6 or -7 or for an unrelated issue? > > 2. Subsequent upgrade to 2.13-7 LEFT SYMLINKS TO THESE, apparently. Actually ldconfig creates links for 2.11.2 files in /lib. We have a script to detect old ld.so in /lib, it looks like we have to extend it for all files from libc6. > OK, I did it.

If we consider that the installation scripts should fix files that should not have been there at the first place. > The system works, except I still have the iconv problems which I did not have > before. So some advice on how to fix this would be most welcome. Given you had a very strange system, I would suggest to run: 'apt-get install --reinstall libc6'' -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
