You are absolutely right here, the thing to consider in this case is the installation set at build time. > And nothing ensures that different architectures use equally > versioned installation sets. Well, yes, there is a thing that in practice ensures such thing: The fact that autobuilders are updated on a daily basis, and the fact that gettext built ok on all architectures the last time: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=gettext So there is really no reason to assume that packages being built on unstable will be built with a mix of pre-msgfmt-change and post-msgfmnt-change depending on the architecture. Such thing will simply not happen, so none of the packages in the long list of affected packages would really have to be affected. > I do hope that fixes appear soon and this discussion becomes irrelevant. So do I, but please give some time for glibc maintainers to deal with this. I have contacted Aurelien regarding this issue. If he asks me to revert, I will. Thanks.
