Under Hurd, the files ldconfig, and 2 other files(can't remember the names, I was half asleep at that time) are required by dpkg only if you are logged in as a user other than root; but not otherwise. I checked this out under Debian, and this problem did not occur.(though I prefer to use RedHat).
dpkg actually is testing the sanity of $PATH, --force-bad-path should make it not care about the missing programs.
