ldconfig should be in libc6. Perhaps the deb you installed is borken?

I have libc6 2.5.1-1eglibc20+0m and /sbin/ldconfig is there.

cheers mece for your reply. The main problem i have now is i cannot install a .deb with dpkg due to not having the ldconfig. i have tried apt-get but it just says that it was unable to find the file. Do you know of any repositories that i can add to be able to do apt-get install? The only other way to fix it again is to reflash but thats just a pain in the preverbial and in a way the easy way out, would like to learn how to fix it with out just throwing the master reset button.

You download the deb manually, then
dpkg -x /path/to/debfile /directory/where/to/extract
like
dpkg -x package /tmp
NOT / !!
and then move the files you need

that's the usual way with broken libc updates

if dpkg does not work you can use
/usr/bin/ar:
cd /tmp
ar x debfile

not that fluent with using the terminal so you might have to explain ina bit more detail, tried dpkg -x package.deb /tmp from the directory with the deb file and with the tmp folder created but nothing.

got very confused with the next bit though
