--- Begin Message ---Package: libc6 Version: 2.9-24 Severity: grave I tried to rebuild some packages and they all fail with dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /lib/libc.so.6 ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.shlibs ls: cannot access /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.shlibs: No such file or directory Other packages are also missing these files. Maybe it is a dpkg related problem... but I haven't updated dpkg since a month or so. Also coreutils hasn't been updated since two months or so. The only package related to dpkg seems to be libc6. A downgrade to libc6-2.9-23 seems to fixed that problem. All packages I have installed after downgrading to 2.9-23 also got there .shlibs back. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-rc5 Debian Release: squeeze/sid 500 unstable ftp.debian.org 1 experimental ftp.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =======================-+-=========== libc-bin (= 2.9-24) | 2.9-24 libgcc1 | 1:4.4.1-1 Recommends (Version) | Installed =========================-+-=========== libc6-i686 | Suggests (Version) | Installed ==========================-+-=========== glibc-doc | debconf | 1.5.27 OR debconf-2.0 | locales | 2.9-24

The commands were: $ dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.9-24_amd64.deb $ ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.shlibs $ dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.9-24_amd64.deb $ ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.shlibs > > > Please give the output of: > dpkg -I /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.9-24_amd64.deb new debian package, version 2.0. size 4187622 bytes: control archive= 49532 bytes. 40 bytes, 1 lines conffiles 637 bytes, 18 lines control 16793 bytes, 282 lines md5sums 9448 bytes, 294 lines * postinst #!/bin/sh 1602 bytes, 59 lines * postrm #!/bin/sh 14470 bytes, 396 lines * preinst #!/bin/sh 965 bytes, 31 lines shlibs 104571 bytes, 3324 lines symbols 44863 bytes, 425 lines templates Package: libc6 Source: eglibc Version: 2.9-24 Architecture: amd64 Maintainer: GNU Libc Maintainers <[email protected]> Installed-Size: 9916 Depends: libc-bin (= 2.9-24), libgcc1 Recommends: libc6-i686 Suggests: glibc-doc, debconf | debconf-2.0, locales Conflicts: tzdata (<< 2007k-1), tzdata-etch Breaks: nscd (<< 2.9) Provides: glibc-2.9-1 Section: libs Priority: required Description: GNU C Library: Shared libraries Contains the standard libraries that are used by nearly all programs on the system.

Also did some tests with `aptitude reinstall libc6`, but it didn't work. The only thing I did in between was to reboot. Maybe it is/was a filesystem bug... which would be cruel. I will mark this bug as unreproducible for now.
