Thanks, that confirms the fact that libslang2 is unpacked before. We
have to find a solution for this.

Hmm, I fail to see how that's linked to manually unpacking the libc6

Your email address was in the To:, but your mail server refused my
email. I tried from two non-dialup IPs multiple time, but all my
tentative fails:
thahn01@t-online.de
host mx02.t-online.de [194.25.134.9]
SMTP error from remote mail server after initial connection:
554 IP=193.70.89.123 - A problem occurred. (Ask your postmaster for help or to contact tosa@rx.t-online.de to clarify.)
