/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6 is in a package called oldlibs/libpthread0. Maybe
the maintainer of that package will have some idea of why you have these
orphaned files in /lib (cc'd to him).
FWIW, I'm the person who put the moonlight package together, and I have no
/lib/libpthread.so.0.6, which is why I didn't experience the problem.
