Lost libc5 stuff after upgrade from hamm to slink



Hello,

I was in the process of getting my system into a good configuration to
install my sound card.  In the process of doing this, I switched from
the hamm distribution to the slink.  Everything seemed to work ok during
the dselect thing, but when I finished, my wordperfect 8 nolonger
functioned.  The error message was can'tload library libXt.so.6.  I used
locate which had its database from before the change and I found that I
had that file (and a bunch of other ones) in the /usr/lib/libc5-compat
directory.  The libXt.so.6 file was no longer there.

Well, in my infinate wisdom, :)  I just used dselect to remove libc5
with the thought of reiinstalling it to get the file back.  Well,  It
erase several more packages then I bargined for (none to critical).  I
tried to re-install the libc5 stuff and the scripts finished without any
errors.  But the libc5-compat directory is not completely empty!

What package do I need to load to get the libc5 based libraries working
again?  So far, the only casulity I have seen is WP8, but I'll bet I
will find others as time goes by.

Thank,

Doug Thistlethwaite
