Apparently the libc5 libs were included in this package (also
wu-ftpd-academ) rather than libc6. There are bug reports on this,
however, and it will hopefully be fixed soon.
The solution (until wu-ftpd gets fixed by the maintainer) was given last
week by Ossama Othman. It worked for me, but some others seem to be still
having problems.
Run ldd on ls. For example,
ldd /bin/ls (you need the absolute path)
You should get output like:
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4000f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
Copy the the libraries from the ldd output to ~ftp/lib, or wherever the
above libraries are relative to root (i.e. if in /usr/lib, copy to
~ftp/usr/lib). Make sure the libraries have a+rx permissions.
HTH,
Bob
