well, it was just like that, and the result was as I said, no .deb
package, instead the tree directory directly in /.

I've just done that, I've installed libc5, rebooted the system, and still
"can't load libXmu.so.6"
I've even removed the papyrus package and reinstalled it... nothing.
May be it's expecting to find libXmu.so.6 somewhere else... any
idea?
