Removing these did not help. % ldd -v =bc ldd: version 1.9.2 libreadline.so.2 => /lib/libreadline.so.2 (0x4000f000) libncurses.so.3.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.4 (0x40030000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40075000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) So you _do_ need the /lib/libreadline.so.2 link. bc in unstable is a libc6 program, so it shouldn't be concerned with what is in the libc5-compat directories. % dpkg -S libreadline.so.2 libreadline2: /lib/libc5-compat/libreadline.so.2 libreadlineg2: /lib/libreadline.so.2.1 libreadline2: /lib/libc5-compat/libreadline.so.2.0 libreadline2: /lib/libc5-compat/libreadline.so.2.1 libreadlineg2: /lib/libreadline.so.2 Is libreadlineg2 still installed properly after your problems with it? -- Carey Evans <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Our mail program accidentally deleted our remove list." - Real quote from UCE -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
