Package: perl Version: 5.003-2 Package: ldso Version: 1.8.2-1 Debian 1.1.5 + rex Linux 2.0.0 I wouldn't close this bug just yet. Here's another separate, but related, data point. Peter's first paragraph offers a fix.

Since perl is a base package they don't need dependencies on it. The bug is probably in the perl package. Maybe the perl package should use a pre-depend on ldso to make sure that the ldso package has been correctly installed. The ldso package removes the old ldso library and installs the new one. If you upgrade more packages at a time (including ldso) the libdl.so.1 link probably points to the old (nonexisting) libdl.so.1.xx until the package has a chance to run its postinst script with the ldconfig command. This script will be run at the end of the dpkg run. Using a pre-depends on ldso should fix the problem. ------- End of Forwarded Message Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ph: +1-415-854-1857 fax: +1-415-854-3195 Say it with MIME.
