Why would that be the case? Every time a new libc is uploaded, it's going to take time for it to move to testing. Critical bugs introduced by the upload might prevent it from moving to testing for a long time, as we've seen lately, but it should still take a couple of weeks, during this time testing users will be getting a new libc that they never explicitly asked for. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
