Hi, I'm a bitlbee user on the armel arch and have encountered this bug. While the 1.2.4-1+b1 upload of bitlbee has fixed the libc6 dependencies on some arches, the dependency is still incorrect on armel: The following packages have unmet dependencies: bitlbee: Depends: libc6 (< 2.10) but 2.

It appears that this problem arises due to bitlbee being built with an older version of libc6. Specifically, the /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.symbols file is where dpkg-shlibdeps gets the conflict for the latest libc6. HTH. -- Alok Platonic Shadow: A nonsexual friendship with a member of the
