That link suddenly appeared on my system as well, immediately following
a "apt-get upgrade" which I performed yesterday (I'm running potato).
I've got no converted RPMs whatsoever (or any other converted formats,
for that matter).

Hmm.  The only Red Hat package that I've messed with is the Voodoo Banshee
version of the the XF86_SVGA server, but for it I only used alien to make a
tgz file from which I extracted a few files by hand.  Nevertheless, I have
seen the same link as the original poster.  I, too, am curious about the
origin of this link, but I am inclined to think that your hypothesis is not
most likely the answer.

it was part of libc6, but doesn't seem to be in newer versions of the deb
package.

No I haven't installed any RPMs recently.  In fact AFAIR I have never installed
an RPM on this machine.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

Most likely you installed a package from redhat that is converted with
alien. afaik, that's a redhat library, not a part of debian.

1999-05-12 Thread Russell Coker
I have just had this file appear on my system.  It is a broken link and
"dpkg -S" doesn't tell me anything about it.  It appeared when I installed
about a dozen of the latest potato packages yesterday...

Does anyone know what it is about?
