Any ideas what should have created that file, or how to make one? I had a similar problem when installing the deb packages for gnome, so maybe this will be of help to you. I got installed lib-gtk and lib-gtk-dev packages, but between the packages you have to download to get gnome working, there was a new version of both of this, but as I was installing by hand, I was just installing the runtime ones (to get them working), and when I installed the new lib-gtk, I begin getting messages from ldconfig like the one you tell, so I did a: dpkg -S /usr/lib/libgtk.so And resulted that that file was added by the lib-gtk-dev package, but was pointing to a file with a lesser version than the one installed, so I solved my problem by installing the corresponding -dev deb package. As far as I can tell, this was because the previous lib-gtk-dev depend on lib-gtk version = lib-gtk-dev version (as does the one in the packages for gnome), which resulted not true in this case. This may be thought as a bug in the packages, but as the gnome packages I am using are from a third party (ie. not on the distributions area of debian mirrors), I think I can't fill a bug against the stable ones, because I am on doubt what package is on error here. And I think those are rare exceptions, as the vast majority of the -dev packages depend on runtime packages with the same version, not more, and not less. Well, all of this to tell you that if you run: dpkg -S /usr/lib/i486-linuxaout/libdb.so.1 Will tell you which package leaved that file on there, may it be a -dev package, you can check if the version of the runtime one match, and if not, upgrade/downgrade the -dev package. See you Roberto Ruiz ps. I can't tell you in which package this file lives on, as I don't have it on my system. -- Never trust an operating system you don't have source for!

The actual file installed won't be /usr/lib/i486-linuxaout/lidb.so.1. It'll probably be a library in /lib or /usr/lib. Try: dpkg -S libdb* this should show you which package installs the libdb.xx.xx.xx file where the x's indicate a version (kinda like libc.so.5 points to libc.so.5.4.44). # dpkg -S /usr/lib/i486-linuxaout/libdb.so.1 dpkg: /usr/lib/i486-linuxaout/libdb.so.1 not found. Hope this helps. Erik

Try doing a search with your web browser - at: http://YOUR.FAVORITE.DEBIAN.MIRROR/distrib/packages or http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages and go to the section Search the Contents of the Latest Release. This method allows you to search through packages that are no longer installed. You might like to remove the leading directories and just use the filename (or part of the filename) as some of the things placed on the disk are symbolic links etc. created by the package installer scripts.
