Bug#214715: libc6-i686: cannot prelink ooffice because of dependency cycle

[Laurent.Bonnaud@inpg.fr]

Package: libc6-i686
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental


Hi,

here is the problem:

# oooprelink -f
Prelinking OpenOffice.org binaries... /usr/sbin/prelink: /lib/i686/libc-2.3.2.so has dependency cycle

And indeed there is dependency cycle between those 2 libraries: 

  /lib/i686/libc-2.3.2.so <-> /lib/i686/libdl.so.2

$ ldd /lib/i686/libc-2.3.2.so
        /lib/libsafe.so.2 => /lib/libsafe.so.2 (0x40139000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/i686/libdl.so.2 (0x4015d000)

$ ldd /lib/i686/libdl.so.2
        /lib/libsafe.so.2 => /lib/libsafe.so.2 (0x40005000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40029000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
