You find out which package a file is in by doing the following : funkiest:/home/paul# dpkg -S libdl ldso: /lib/libdl.so.1.9.11 libc6-dev: /usr/lib/libdl.a libc6: /lib/libdl-2.1.3.so ldso: /lib/libdl.so.1 libc6: /lib/libdl.so.2 libc6-dev: /usr/lib/libdl.so funkiest:/home/paul# Which shows it's in libc6. Since upgrading a C-library can affect a lot of packages, you would probably get less problems by upgrading the whole lot to potato, which should be stabilising nicely. -- Regards, Paul
