If only the symlink is nuked, just boot with a rescue floppy, get 
a shell, mount the root partition and recreate the symlink.

If the actual ld-x.y.z.so file is gone, you'll have to extract
it from the proper deb and copy it back.

In either case, the rescue disk is your friend.  It is the same
disk as the installation boot disk.

Cheers,

Hi Trev,

In reference to:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-9905/msg00160.html

and your problem with renaming the Linux loader shared library, I
managed to find the fix to this problem. You see, I too used mv to move
ld-linux.so.2 to ld-linux.so.2.old and from that point on, of course, no
shell commands would run. I kept getting "no such file or directory"
when I would try simple things like running the ls command. And of
course, the way to restore the library was to run mv again, but it
wouldn't run either! What a mess!

BTW, I am running Red Hat Linux, but I'm not sure the version.

So, in search of a fix, I went to the Red Hat web page and found out the
following will work to fix the problem.

/lib/ld-2.2.2.so /bin/mv ld-linux.so.2.old ld-linux.so.2

Since ld-linux.so.2 originally was a symbolic link pointing to
ld-2.2.2.so, I used ld-2.2.2.so directly in the move command and it
worked! Boy, was I relieved! I thought I would have to reinstall!

After this move command, ls works again and things are back to the way
they were.

Anyway, I thought you would like to know even though your original
posting was about a year and a half ago.

I was try to get ld-linux to point to an earlier version and so I
deleted ld-linux.so.2 in an attempt to get star office and java working,
and instead I cannot run any program!!!

Is there an easy way to fix this?

Hi Trev,

Did you ever solve this problem?

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-9905/msg00160.html

Or, did you have to reinstall your Linux system?
