Ok, so apparently the problem is that I upgraded my ldso to the ldso in
hamm (I was intending to turn my machine into a libc6 system, but
decided against it after realizing how many packages I'd have to deinstall
- getting the hamm versions of all of these isn't really an option with a
mere dialup connection) Since the only dpkg and dpkg-dev that can handle
this ldd's output depend on libc6, I'm in a bit of a fix.
Now there's a rather strong warning against downgrading ldso to version
1.8.x, which is the option I'm looking at here, since I can't install
libc6 without gutting my system, making it near impossible to do what I
wanted to do in the first place, that is to compile a source package. Why
is this warning there? Is there anything I can do manually to downgrade
my machine's ldso?
