Package: libc-bin
Version: 2.31-12
The post install script fails when trigger as a non-root user (such as
when using dpkg to install a package to a different root from a
non-root account). This seems to be because ldconfig --verbose returns
an error because it needs root privileges to work, showing this error:
/sbin/ldconfig: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~:
Permission denied
Appending ||: to the end of this command will occlude the error and
allow the post install script to succeed.

Blindly ignoring an error is definitely not something wanted. Anyway
support for DPKG_ROOT has already been added in version 2.31-17 (see
bug#983412 for more details).
