Hello, Curt Howland: > My bug report got no action, since the suggested package to "solve" the > library problem will not install without the missing file.
I don't know where the file comes from (my system has libdb.so.2), but if you need a file out of a package, you can always "ar x" and "tar x" to unpack it manually. Then copy the missing file where it belongs. (That's copy the deb into a subdirectory, do "ar x libwhatever.deb" and then "tar xzf data.tar.gz".) If you install a .so file in this way, don't forget to run ldconfig to update all the softlinks and the cache. Once you've got your system up and running, you should probably install that deb using dpkg, so that it knows about the file.
