For example: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720593 In the meantime, moving libraries from /usr/lib to /lib or adding symlinks was considered unproductive and the problem was fixed by mounting /usr in the initrd: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652459 -- Use variable names that mean something. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger)
