One question. Did you do a fresh install of Debian or did you by any
chance install over an existing install? FWIW, my /bin/echo links
against /lib/libc.so.6
Do you by any chance have an environment variable "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" set?
If so, this might be causing the error. Also, "cat /etc/ld.so.conf" and
see what's in there. If there's a reference to the tls directory here,
this _might_ cause the misdirected(?) link path. If this file does
contain a reference to that directory, I believe the correct way to
correct this is with "ldconfig". It sounds a bit scary to run this
program (as root, of course), but this may be the way you will need to
correct this. It appears that you may have a configuration problem.
