Of course there are no pending upgrades. Esp. for libc6\*:

% dpkg -l libc6\*

As mentioned before, the /lib/ldconfig feature is not documented
at all. Whch version of libc6* has been used for testing?

There could be a conflict even for system libraries, e.g. between
a stripped-down small library in /lib used at boot time, and the
full multi-lingual version in /usr/lib, for example.
