Don't use locate for stuff like this.  It's info that is 
cached daily into a database.

This means that liblash2 is not installed or not installed 
properly.

Sorry... should be...

    $ ldd /usr/bin/hydrogen

      -- or --

    $ ldd $(which hydrogen)

...but that's no matter because it appears to be an 
installation issue with lash.

This will tell you if it's installed or not:

    $ dpkg-query --list liblash2

If it's installed, this will tell you what files it 
provides:

    $ dpkg-query --listfiles liblash2

If it says that it provides /usr/lib/liblash2.so.2.1.1 -- 
but the file is actually missing -- then you have an 
installation issue with liblash2.

Note that /usr/lib/liblash2.so.2 is always a symbolic link 
to the *real* so-file.
