Bug Description

While upgrading to hardy frome dapper, I got an update failure message at the veruy en, before cleaning.

During the upgrade, it was complaning about symbol lookup errors for libgdk_pixbuf-2.2.0.so.0, and after fixing this I got some other symbol lookup errors with other libs...

Many graphics apps were broken (including gdm, kdm).

I correct this by editin /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf to use as default folder /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib but I'm not sure this the good way.

Here are the files, hope it may help.

By the way, I think that the way I fixed the problem is not the good one, it seems to me that because of the failure of the upgrade just before the clean-up, there were still old versions of the libs in /usr/local/lib, and thus ldconfig was pointing to those old versions instead of the correct ones.

So the change I made is sort of a work around, but removing the libs in /usr/local/lib should do the same without preventing people to install new versions of some lib in that folder...

You've reported the bug a while ago, is it still an issue ?
