Re: Cannot login to computer after upgrade to Lenny

A guy from the debian-user-french mailing list suggested me to check the integrity of the file "/lib/libdl-2.7.so" (I removed package "libc6-i686", so /lib/i686 directory was removed), and the validity of the link "/lib/libdl.so.2", and I got this strange log :

<link lib>
# su
bash: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

# cp
cp: missing file operand
Try `cp --help' for more information.

# cd /lib

That's so weird...
