No. This was a recent upgarde of a few packages in unstable on a
right-up-to-date system. As I understand it, what happened was
approximately this...
dpkg --install .../ldso* .../libc5* .../<other packages>
the results were
unpack ldso
unpack libc5 (error "perl: cannot find libdl.so.1")
unpack <others> (error "perl: cannot find libdl.so.1" occasionally)
Apperently it never configured ldso before proceeding to the remaining
packages. Configuring ldso and libc5 and then installing everything again
was successful.
(Note that this is from memory and so may not be entirely accurate.)
