Until September 2007 the default behavior would have been to use the Debian library in /usr/lib/ (therefore you might not have noticed this problem earlier), but now the default is for /usr/local/lib/ to take precedence. You have to get your system to use the proper file when libz.so.1 is needed. The most straightforward approach is to delete or to rename /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 and to run "ldconfig" (without arguments as root). Afterwards you should see something like this: $ ldconfig -pNX | grep 'libz\.so' libz.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 libz.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 libz.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libz.so $ ldd /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 | grep libz libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7e43000) This tells you that /usr/lib/libz.so.1 will be used from now on, and we already verified that this one has gzopen64 defined (the "nm ..." command above). This should allow you to (un)install all the currently broken packages. If you need to keep /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 then you have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make sure that /usr/lib/ has a higher priority than /usr/local/lib/. I would advise not to keep alternate versions of Debian-provided libraries around, at least not if they have the same soname. If you want to check which other "local" libraries might cause problems in the future, you can run: ldconfig -pNX | grep local -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
