Package: libsigc++0
Version: 1.0.2-2
Severity: normal
I use sudo when using apt-get rather than logging in as root. There are
normally no issues with this, but a recent upgrade of libsigc++0 failed.
This may be die to another package (ldconfig?), but the libsigc++0 is
the first time I've seen any symptoms:
$ sudo apt-get install libsigc++0

dpkg is reporting this, not the libsigc++0 package. Basically, your root
environment is not setup properly (missing /sbin and /usr/sbin). You
need to resolve this locally, as it is not a bug in any package. What
you may want to do is set PATH, then execute sudo.
I'm closing this bug report, since it isn't really a bug.
