In case you missed the original post:

$ which ftp
/usr/bin/ftp

$ ls -l /usr/bin/ftp
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        56556 Feb 12  1999 /usr/bin/ftp

$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/ftp
dpkg: /usr/bin/ftp not found.

$ ldd /usr/bin/ftp
        libreadline.so.2 => /lib/libreadline.so.2 (0x40016000)
        libncurses.so.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x4003f000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4007e000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x4015b000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

$ dpkg -S /lib/libreadline.so.2
libreadlineg2: /lib/libreadline.so.2

Simple box (125 packages) upgraded from a recent slink install with

apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade

without problems (kbd held back, installed cleanly with apt-get install
after the dist-upgrade).

I noticed the situation when I removed libreadline2g and ftp refused to
work.

I haven't installed the ftp package in the hope that I may be able to
help run this to ground with the box as is.

Cheers,
 Pann
