Re: ldconfig issue with raspbian, may affect debian too

That's not the one to look for. You want:

  Tag_ABI_VFP_args: VFP registers

which is also set there. "readelf -h" also says

  Flags:                             0x5000002, has entry point, Version5 EABI

What does "ldconfig -p" say for you on problematic system?
Sorry It seems when I pasted the stuff from irc (while trimming unrelated stuf) I missed the most important line

<mike_t> plugwash, http://pastebin.com/6xPrPQbL

Which says

after upgrade

       /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 (0xb6f1c000)
root@rpi:~# ldconfig -p | fgrep libvcos.so
       libvcos.so (libc6) => /opt/vc/lib/libvcos.so

The issue appears to be related to ld.so cache regeneration during upgrade. It didn't happen for me when I took a slightly older raspberry pi foundation image and updated it to the latest version but I was able to reproduce it by doing.

wget http://snapshot.raspbian.org/201302200144/raspbian/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc-bin_2.13-37+rpi1_armhf.deb
dpkg -i libc-bin_2.13-37+rpi1_armhf.deb
rm /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache
rm /etc/ld.so.cache
ldconfig
apt-get -f install (which upgrades libc-bin back to 2.13-38)

Once a system is suffering from the issue it is nessacery to remove /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache and run ldconfig. Removing only /etc/ld.so.cache and running ldconfig is not sufficient.

Based on that it seems the soloution is to make libc.preinst remove /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache as well as /etc/ld.so.cache and bump the version that triggers the removals. Do others agree?
