After upgrading ldso, libc6 and several other packages, several packages
failed to work, responding "segmentation violation",
xv, xfig, xephem
The cause of this was my setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .bashrc.
I had used this setting with no problems for a year under rex and bo.
To correct this, I tried many combinations of paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
including those in /etc/ld.so.conf. I could never get all packages to work
with any LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I could get xv and xfig to work, but then vim would
respond "caught deadly signal SEGV".
The file /etc/ld.so.conf seems to do properly what LD_LIBRARY_PATH did.
I presume we should NO longer use the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
