Ok, so it's actually a debate whether to readd missing symbols to affected libraries themselves or to libc6-dev. If Matthew is correct, all packages except trustedqsl are victims of libqt3-mt. By the way, I'm not sure if tsql is a problem (atoi is versioned?):
$ objdump -tT /usr/bin/tqsl | grep atoi 0000000000000000 DF *UND* 0000000000000015 GLIBC_2.2.5 atoi $ objdump -tT /usr/bin/tqslcert | grep atoi 0000000000000000 DF *UND* 0000000000000015 GLIBC_2.2.5 atoi $ objdump -Tt /usr/lib/libtqsllib.so.1.0.0 | grep atoi 0000000000000000 DF *UND* 0000000000000015 GLIBC_2.2.5 atoi > Qt _has_ to use it to build, though digikam and friends won't, so that > they will _stop_ using the damn symbols.

It's true that Qt gets those symbols at compile time, but any binaries linking against Qt references [fl]?stat64 from Qt at link time. Hence as long any application using [fl]?stat64 are linked against Qt3 with [fl]?stat64 exported (and that has nothing to do with headers), it will depend on [fl]?stat64 being present. If what you say was true, ktorrent 2.2.5.dfsg.1-1 should not depend on fstat64, because 1. ktorrent 2.2.5.dfsg.1-1 was uploaded on Wed, 06 Feb 2008 23:07:08 +0200, hence built against libc6-dev (>= 2.7) without extern inlines in sys/stat.h That's essentially the same as it would be building without -D_USE_DEBIAN_GLIBC_EXTERN_INLINE_HACK 2. qt-x11-free 3.3.7-9 was uploaded on Wed, 26 Sep 2007 21:42:24 +0200, hence built against libc6-dev (<< 2.7) with extern inlines in sys/stat.h present. That's essentially the same as it would be building with -D_USE_DEBIAN_GLIBC_EXTERN_INLINE_HACK 3. ktorrent 2.2.5.dfsg.1-1 was linked against qt-x11-free 3.3.7-9 (app, not using -D_USE_DEBIAN_GLIBC_EXTERN_INLINE_HACK, was linked against lib, using -D_USE_DEBIAN_GLIBC_EXTERN_INLINE_HACK). As you see, all conditions were met, but, unfortunately, ktorrent 2.2.5.dfsg.1-1 still depends on exported fstat64 > No Conflicts are needed, We only need a list of _library_ packages > that have the stat (and other symbols) defined reuploaded with a > -D_USE_DEBIAN_GLIBC_EXTERN_INLINE_HACK in the CFLAGS.

Unless libqt3-mt loses them, binNMUs won't help. P.S. However, we might want to delay libqt3-mt transition (by adding back [fl]?stat64 symbols one way or another and forgetting it) to lenny+1, because it's very likely that there will have been fewer applications using it by then. -- Modestas Vainius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
