Hi Aurelien, Trimmed Cc list for glibc matters.

Thanks for the pointer. I tested a downgrade. It seems to work without loosing files, but two protective diversions remain in place. One is issued by libc6 against itself (such that it is immune to its own diversion) and the other is issued on behalf of base-files and properly owned by base-files after upgrading base-files. So the downgrade situation is not exactly the situation before the downgrade, but close enough, it works and after upgrading again it's all as it should be. I think this is fine. Doing final checks then uploading it all. Helmut
