Hello - If the next version of glibc stopped running under the Linux kernel, period, would you also tag it upstream wontfix?
Seriously guys, when the glibc people make a big mistake like this, you are not distributing a working distribution when you follow their lead. upstream is not a carte blanche tag, especially on a critical package like libc6. You're not going to make the decision as to whether or not Debian will drop support for 2.4 linux kernels without some sort of wider public input. The fact that Aurelien tagged this as wontfix speaks of an unbearable arrogance and we are all just fortunate that I am not swearing at this moment. Other users who are even less polite will follow. This problem will not be swept under the carpet. What is a work around? This is a serious problem. Do I have to build libc6 without NPTL and then repackage it so debian will let me install programs that improperly depend on the new version?
