thanks

stupid PEBKAC. /lib/libdl* was symlinked BADLY, to an old version from
2005, making most stuff using dlopen() and futexes crash horribly.

As such, I made a foreign lenny debootstrap to compare notes, so to
speak, and thus found the culprit, and fixed the symlink. Suggestion:
maybe check the files, including symlinks, to make sure they're OK,
during upgrades like this. Probably too much to ask, since how does
say aptitude know if you've switched versions? There's no real
meta-data like that AFAIK. Anyway, just a thought. Thanks for your
attention, and have a good day.
