Grrr! Dangling links in /usr/lib/

[David Lutz <dlutz@aracnet.com>]

  I am upgrading my mostly Debian 1.1 system to Debian 1.2.  According
to symlinks I have these dangling links:

dangling: /usr/lib/libbfd.so.2.7.0.3 -> libbfd.so.2.7.0.3.dpkg-tmp
dangling: /usr/lib/libopcodes.so.2.7.0.3 -> libopcodes.so.2.7.0.3.dpkg-tmp

(Actually I have a few other, mostly in /usr/doc/..., but these are the
most annoying.)  I can no long compile/link any program.  The compile
always dies with this error message:
/usr/i486-linux/bin/as: can't load library 'libbfd.so.2.7.0.3'

I assume this is my fault as I upgraded my binutils without the use
of Debian Packages.  I would like to know how I can fix the problem
however.  Dselect swears that the binutils package is up-to-date and
refuses to attempt to reload it.  Does anybody have any suggestions?

# ls -l libbfd* libopcodes*
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       290560 Oct 16 07:20 libbfd.a
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           26 Dec 14 13:46 libbfd.so.2.7.0.3 -> libbfd.so.2.7.0.3.dpkg-tmp
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        49882 Oct 16 07:21 libopcodes.a
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           30 Dec 14 13:46 libopcodes.so.2.7.0.3 -> libopcodes.so.2.7.0.3.dpkg-tmp

Thanks,
D.L.
