Re: dpkg can't find ldconfig?

Thanks to everyone for the responses! I think I know what caused the
problem, but fixing it is still a mystery.  

I tried installing mcrypt at one point, which required libc6 2.2.1-2 or
greater (a newer version than the one in potato).  Later on, when I
tried to install something via gnome-apt, it wanted to put the libc6
that came with potato back.  Innocently, I believed it'd just replace
everything the way it was ... I think ldso got dumped in that process. 
I have since reinstalled Ximian Gnome, so I figured that apt was
working okay (Ximian's install uses apt), but now it doesn't seem to be
okay at all.

Any suggestions on how I should proceed?  Should I reformat and start
over or try to install ldso manually? Should I try to upgrade to Woody
(can I even do this without ldconfig/ldso?)?  Or maybe there's a better
idea? 

Thanks!

Jen
