Can you back up this claim? If you uninstall glibc, you are f**ked. pacman.static (and every other binary on your system minus those statically linked against klibc) will not run. I know this from doing it by accident on my Eee. :) If someone wants to do a "replacement", feel free. Let me know who wants to maintain the pacman package and build it in the PKGBUILD. I really have no desire to both hack on the code and package it for Arch- I see them as two completely different things. Travis did in fact find the thread where this all came up on pacman-dev and no one had complaints against it from that side of the fence: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-July/012348.html -Dan
