/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6 is in a package called oldlibs/libpthread0. Maybe the maintainer of that package will have some idea of why you have these orphaned files in /lib (cc'd to him). FWIW, I'm the person who put the moonlight package together, and I have no /lib/libpthread.so.0.6, which is why I didn't experience the problem. -- see shy jo -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.
