I tested and yes the problem also occurs with older and non processor-optimized versions of libc6. > Try un-preloading libsafe. Without libsafe I was indeed able to prelink ooffice. Thank you for finding the real problem, and sorry for the bogus bug report ! > Prelinking OpenOffice.org binaries... /usr/sbin/prelink: > /lib/i686/libc-2.3.2.so has dependency cycle Still this message is misleading: I don't see the so called "cycle" introduced by libsafe. Furthermore, is would be useful to be able to prelink binaries and still use libsafe. Do you think I should reassign this bug as a wishlist to libsafe or prelink ?
