Well, okay, we need to start somewhere, and, while we suspect ld, we don't really know for sure. And we suspect that the actual fix may not end up being in ld. So, what is the name of the package that is trying to load libc6:i386? That probably isn't where the bug is, but it seems to be the cause of the bug. -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
