If someone wants to give these packages a whirl I've put them up at: http://gashcrumb.homelinux.org/tmp
the .debs are in "debs" and the patched libc6 source package + test is in "source". When I built them I just did a "dpkg -i *" and it seemed to go alright, though I don't think you'd normally need to install the debug and profile libraries. Note that locales and locales-all showed up as ready to upgrade after installing these, I've gone and upgraded them and haven't noticed any problems so far. I've also since removed the debug/profiled packages from my install. cheers, Stan On Tue 20 February 2007, Thomas Evans wrote: > Sorry to confuse 'unstable' with 'not fixed'. > > Lots of zombies often led to 'unstable' for me... > > ...tom > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Uwe Schindler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "'Thomas Evans'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Stan Lewis'" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; [email protected] Sent: 2/20/07 5:07 PM > Subject: RE: Hello!
