apt: 0.3.6 and ldconfig: /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (No such file or directory)
ever since I upgraded to apt 0.3.6 I get this error with just about every package I install ldconfig: warning: can't open /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (No such file or directory), skipping - any thoughts on how to fix this? is this a problem with apt or ldconfig?

[prompt]# rm /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 is this a problem with apt or ldconfig? Neither. It is caused by having a dangling symbolic link in your lib directory. ldconfig gives a warning and keeps going, which is the correct behavior. apt simply is calling dpkg, which is calling ldconfig in some postinst scripts, which is the correct behavior. It is (most likely) caused by you having (or used to have) a package on your system that used a library called libNoVersion.so.1.y, which created a symbolic link to specify the latest minor version. Since the symbolic link was created instead of part of the package, it did not get removed when the package was upgraded or removed. This was an error on the part of the package that created the link, which we haven't been able to identify. If anyone has this link (/lib/libNoVersion.so.1) on their system, and it points to an *actual file*, please identify the package that the file belongs to and post it here. -Mitch
libNoVersion.so.1
Hi, I keep getting the message below now installing packages using delect. Where does this come from, and how do I get rid of it? ldconfig: warning: can't open /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (No such file or directory), skipping TIA --- Regards, Christian Dysthe Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~cdysthe ICQ 3945810 Date: 12-May-99 Time: 11:41:59 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux --- Things are more like they used to be than they are now.

You should be able to safely remove /lib/libNoVersion.so.1, which will get rid of the ldconfig warning. I still haven't seen on this list any verification of which package is creating this link. -Mitch
