OK thanks, I used to do this by grepping /var/lib/dpkg/info/*

Well, I don't know. I pointed  apt-get to unstable in order to install
something (xmps??),  which ended up  upgrading my libc and  some other
stuff (C++ libraries??). This  broke something else (undefined symbols
in some  X libraries  when compiling stuff).  So I  manually downgraded
libc (and hopefully  all the other things that  had been upgraded) via
ftp + dpkg.  Now I have the  stable libc again, but as  you suggest, I
may have broken something in the process. 

I've now got ldd from the ldso deb.
