This one file is causing me terrible grief and I need to get it fixed. The file is /lib/libext2fs.so.2.4 and the permissions are as follows: p---rw--w- 1 root 28531 0 Dec 21 20:04 /lib/libext2fs.so.2.4 root (superuser) is unable to delete, chmod, modify, move or do ANYTHING to this file. I've done gazillions of things to try and correct it. I've booted up with tomsrtbt, fsck'ed the disk many times, run badblocks on it, tried deleting it when the drive was not mounted as / and many many other things that people have suggested. Here is what i get when root does "rm -Rf /lib/libext2fs.so.2.4": rm: cannot unlink `/lib/libext2fs.so.2.4': Operation not permitted and mv reports: mv: cannot unlink `/lib/libext2fs.so.2.4': Operation not permitted mv: cannot remove `/lib/libext2fs.so.2.4': Operation not permitted This is driving me insane because I can't install new packages or correct the ones I have because when dpkg calls ldconfig, it gets stuck on this file. And most of the packages I want rely on libstdc++2.10, yet that package isn't properly installed because it can't process ldconfig. This is creating lots of problems and annoyances. If anyone can assist me or suggest anything, please don't hesitate to e-mail me. Thanks! BTW, I'm running debian potato, which was completely up-to-date until Dec 21. If you need any more info about my system, I'd be happy to help. -- Eliot Landrum [EMAIL PROTECTED]
