I don't know what "FWIW" means (for what it's worth?), but thanks for 
the info. However, the error message "dirname: error while loading 
shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory" still appears no matter what I try. Also since this 
error started, I cannot get Gnome-Package-Kit Application 
(gpk-application) to get past "Waiting for service to start" once I have 
told it which packages to install.

Peace,
