I can confirm the apt-listchanges failure here, running unstable. The only exceptional thing about my system that I think could be relevant is that I'm running a non-Debian kernel from kernel.org (2.6.15.6). The error message itself is being printed by ld.so, which belongs to the libc6 package. My libc6 version is "2.3.6-5". I've tried running the testcase with "LD_DEBUG=all" in the environment, but the output wasn't very illuminating (attached). Perhaps someone not showing symptoms can diff it against a run on their own system. Actually, valgrind screams with lots of errors in /lib/ld-2.3.6.so when running the testcase, or any other affected program. Hmm. That would explain its non-deterministic nature. Valgrind output also attached. Nick Lewycky
