Installing it would looke like: 1) libcrypt1.preinst diverts glibc's libcrypt.so.1 2) dpkg does things 3) dpkg installs libxcrypt's libcrypt.so.1 4) dpkg does more things 5) libcrypt1.postinst runs/triggers ldconfig And this means that perl (a libcrypt dependency) would be broken between 1 and 5 (or maybe 1 and 3): is this ever going to work? But even if this worked correctly, glibc installs a libcrypt-N.NN.so, whose exact name I expect changes among different releases. Is there any way to implement all this safely? -- ciao, Marco
