Well, I'm not sure your problem exactly is known -- you were appently
upgrading from 1.1, but had already installed ldso_1.8.11-1:

                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^

So, you were doing something "unnatural".

I guess you've already reboted your computer now. Then,
reboot with boot floppies (you do have got some ready don't you?
I didn't last sunday, wasn't nice), mount your root partition
and cd to your lib directory. Then  type something like:

cd lib
cp ld-linux.so.1.*  ld-linux.so.1
sync
cd /
unmount /mnt       #or wherever you mounted your root partition

and you should be OK again (I'm not sure about the actual wording
of that cp command -- I never actualy tried it, but I *THINK*
that's what you should do).
