I haven't used WordPerfect8 from Corel in a while and just discovered that it no longer runs on my Debian/Sid system. I think it is because it requires the previous version of the libc package (woody). I have copied these files (found by ldd on wordperfect executable) form a working Woody system, but libc comes first in the library search.
If I place all the files in /usr/local/lib, then export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib, it picks up all but libc. Here is the present ldd

I would like to set up a wrapper script that sets up these variables temporarily just to run wordperfect. How do I do that ?

I have the WP8 .deb package which depends on libc5, and which is available in Sid & Testing. The depends that is no longer avaialble is xlib6g, which has been replaced by libxaw6, libxaw6-dbg, & xlibs. I installed these but there are not recognized as the replacement for xlib6g.
Checkout equivs:
This is a dummy package which can be used to create Debian packages which only contain dependency information. . This way, you can make the Debian package management system believe that equivalents to packages which other packages do depend on are actually installed.
