Comment 26 for bug 81125

Was wondering..... what is the common denominator in people that have the libs, I have a couple of SW packages installed (but not on Oct 25 that I remember when the two libs link were created...)
Examples:
vmware-server.... (had to install build essential for this to compile new kernel mod)
Couple of IBM apps... like WECM (IBM mobility Client VPN solution)
Anybody have these ?

Another thing that makes me wonder.... Why is it that if I remove these links all commands stop working....

If I search for these to libs (grep -R from /) I get links to /bin/*sh and a couple of other base packages ? This seems part of the core....

Being not too clever and slow I might be missing it ? How can another app use these libs and links of they are needed by the base system.

Please explain... (I also include the listing below of all the ls listings to these libs)

On the problematic libs:
libc.so.6 <- I do not have this lib....
ld-linux.so.2 <- This lib was installed the day after I reinstalled my laptop (24 Oct)
libdl.so.2 <- This lib was installed the day I reinstalled my laptop (24 Oct)

listing the links:
