Bug#2481: /sbin/ldconfig in scripts
Package: (general)
A lot of packages are using `ldconfig' in their {pre,post}{inst,rm}
scripts. If `ldconfig' is called from such a script it should not have
a path prepended to it. Do not use `/sbin/ldconfig' but use
`ldconfig'. Before installation is started with `dpkg' a check is done
by `dpkg' if the programs `ldconfig', `start-stop-daemon',
`install-info' and `update-rc.d' can be found via the PATH environment
variable.
Please check if one of your packages is in this list and modify your
{pre,post}{inst,rm} scripts.
