[prompt]# rm /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 > is this a problem with apt or ldconfig? Neither. It is caused by having a dangling symbolic link in your lib directory. ldconfig gives a warning and keeps going, which is the correct behavior. apt simply is calling dpkg, which is calling ldconfig in some postinst scripts, which is the correct behavior. It is (most likely) caused by you having (or used to have) a package on your system that used a library called libNoVersion.so.1.y, which created a symbolic link to specify the latest minor version. Since the symbolic link was created instead of part of the package, it did not get removed when the package was upgraded or removed. This was an error on the part of the package that created the link, which we haven't been able to identify. If anyone has this link (/lib/libNoVersion.so.1) on their system, and it points to an *actual file*, please identify the package that the file belongs to and post it here. -Mitch
