What are those libraries? Are they symlinks, old versions, whatever - and can you get any idea where they came from? We've had a lot of reports but we can't figure out how it keeps happening. Save them to another directory and reinstall libc6, and you should be fine. And the /lib/tls dir has nothing to do with the problem. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
