'Lo all.

Seems I've got an old copy of libc.so.2.1 on my machine.  Don't ask me
how it got there, it's a long story.

At any rate, I've managed to isolate the file to a lone directory
called /usr/lib.bad with only the aforementioned file in it.  I
checked the /var/run/ld.so.hints file and see that nothing is
referencing this file.  I've got the other (good) copy in /usr/lib.

The problem is, I can't get rid of it!  I've booted in single user
mode, run /stand/rm to bypass the static libraries, tried to mount a
floppy and move it there then unmount the floppy, rename it and then
delete it, etc, and nothing will blast it away.  I ran fsck to see if
there was something wrong with me drive...nope.

I checked the manpage for ld but didn't see any clues in there.  Did I
miss something?

Does anybody know how I can get rid of this old library file?

Cheers,
