[Bug 816153] [NEW] dante-server using the wrong libc.so

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

SRU justification :

Without this correction, the danted daemon fails to start

Impact : 
Without a manual workaround, danted is unusable

Fix :

Correct the search logic to find & use the proper library path

Test Case :

- Install dante-server
- Configure /etc/danted.conf
- start danted with 
$ invoke-rc.d danted start

Regression :

Should be minimal as only one more search path is added to the lookup

Original description of the problem :

in natty/amd_64 /etc/init.d/danted start ends with a
Failed to open "libc.so": /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so: invalid ELF header

The file is plain text, not ELF
/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf64-x86-64)
GROUP ( /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_nonshared.a  AS_NEEDED ( /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ) )

and so danted dies.

work around is:
sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so
