Bug#609882: libc6: "No such file or directory" error when attempting to execute LSB executable without lsb-core
Package: libc6
Version: 2.11.2-8
Severity: normal
On an amd64 architecture system without lsb-core installed, download
lmutil_x64_lsb.tar.gz from
http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm
Extract the file from the archive, mark it executable and then attempt
to execute it:
$ ./lmutil
bash: ./lmutil: No such file or directory
The error message should be more informative, for example:
This program requires 'lsb-core' which is currently not installed. You
can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install lsb-core
