Hi Steve I promise you I never manually installed any glibc. The only things I have in /lib and /usr/lib come from packages. All those files I listed WERE in /lib, not /usr/lib. I had other un-owned libraries in /usr/lib, though. The more intriguing point you make is that the versions that I listed were never part of any debian package. I'll believe you, but they must have come from somewhere. It appears to me I must have gotten them from Debian "sid" by making a repository error. At one time, I did need some packages from sid to make the wireless work. > Cheers, > -- > Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS > Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. > Ubuntu Developer http://www.debian.org/ > slanga...@ubuntu.com vor...@debian.org -- Paul E.
