Sounds to me like you upgraded to woody and then tried to go back.
Download the ldso package from potato and do:

dpkg --force-bad-path -i ldso.deb

In potato, it was in the ldso package. In woody it has moved to libc6.

It sounds like you're trying to downgrade from woody's libc6 to
potato's, where this can be a problem. You may have difficulty getting
ldso reinstalled due to this. If so, try 'dpkg --force-bad-path -i
ldso_1.9.11-9_i386.deb'. Then reinstall libc6 with dpkg, and continue
from there.

Not at all, downgrading can be a bit of a mess sometimes ... although
it's technically possible, it's not very well supported.

RE: what to install to get ldconfig..?

2002-05-02 Thread Kurc, Marcin A. 
it's really unusual to not have ldconfig on debian, it comes with libc6
location of ldconfig is not in your path
do this
export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
dpkg -i whatever.deb

(#:/work) dpkg -i libc6_2.1.3-20.deb 
dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.

ldconfig should be under /sbin do you have sbin in your path? (echo
$PATH)

if not, try adding it.

BTW ldconfig is provided by libc6 :)
