frozen i386 killed dselect etc

[John Leget <johnjl@ihug.co.nz>]

Just updated with debian i386 frozen today andi ran into trouble as
follows

/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.0-1.so.2:undefined symbol : _register_fram_info
which effectively killed dselect,xfstt (which caused x to bomb :)), and
probably more.

now i traced the symlink to
	-> libstdc++-2-libc6.0-1-2.9.0.so 
and replaced it with one from another partition which has only the base
install ( linux safe mode <grin>) same problem i eventually fixed that
by replacing a file
	libm.so.6 ->libm-2.0.7.so 
( which i found using 
ldd libstdc++-2-libc6.......
	libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40047000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40060000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)  )

with libm-2.0.7.so from my other partition and it seems to fix part of
the problem dselect and xfstt are running again for now, just wondering
what i havent yet fixed >;0)

I dont know what package caused the problem, but ive no doubt someone
does :)

I cant say linux doesnt bomb as much as M$ windows, but some differences
ive found
1) i have generally been able to fix it WITHOUT a  reinstall
2) it runs like it did when i installed it( well not entirely true its
running better as i understand it a bit more now <grin>) unlike windows
which decays with time, i ussually needed to reinstall every +-3 months
3) it doesnt promise to be something it aint !!!!
4) i enjoy using it :)
etc

Thanx all
