It's me again... I fixed the problem by symlinking sh to zsh and doing a "dpkg --configure -a". ldconfig got run a couple of times, and I suspect this is what fixed the problem because the output of ldd /bin/bash looks much saner now:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~/deb] >ldd /bin/bash libreadline.so.2 => /lib/libc5-compat/libreadline.so.2 (0x4000b000) libncurses.so.3.0 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.0 (0x4002c000) libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x40068000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4006b000) I'm still with bash 2.0, but I suspect that installing bash 2.01 won't cause problems now. If you want to know what changed on my system, just diff the following dpkg --audit with the previous one: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~chrish/deb] #dpkg --audit The following packages are in a mess due to serious problems during installation. They must be reinstalled for them (and any packages that depend on them) to function properly: metamail An implementation of MIME. mount Tools for mounting and manipulating filesystems. The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured. They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure menu option in dselect for them to work: libgdbm1 GNU dbm database routines (runtime version). [libc5 compa libc5 The Linux C library version 5 (run-time libraries). bash-builtins Bash loadable builtins - headers & examples libreadline2 GNU readline and history libraries, run-time libraries. [ chimera2 Web browser for X The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect: inform A compiler for adventure games. Now the question is, what should be done so that this doesn't happen to other people? Christian
