I've heard that there are a couple of hundred other packages which need a current version of libc binaries to build. They are called 'C programs'. We've even invented stuff like Build-Depends for them. Stop the presses! File RC bugs! Michael (Incidently, I've built glibc_2.3.2ds1-12 packages on hurd-i386 yesterday. The current version of glibc on hurd-i386 is 2.3.1-5 which is not so recent alltogether. Further, the glibc package does not even have a versioned Build-Depends on libc6-dev) -- Michael Banck Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.advogato.org/person/mbanck/diary.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
