I run several "ancient" programs, by housing them in /usr/local/bin, with the libraries they need (which are no longer provided in Debian) situated in /usr/local/lib. In previous systems, right up to potato, this worked fine.
I just finished building a woody system, so I can get my packages up to date, and all these programs stopped working because the needed library was not found. If I copy the /usr/local/lib contents to /lib everything works fine, suggesting that ldconfig no longer traverses /usr/local/lib for the libraries found there. Is this what is going on ... why ... and what do I do to correct the problem?
