It's a bug in the experimental glibc package, maybe you could file a bug report and get the glibc maintainers to fix this? > I do not want to change the experimental package (it can have bugs, sure), > but how can I fix this on my machine that apt-get and dpkg do not complain > all the time?

The culprit file is /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.1.shlibs, but that's part of the package and will get overwritten with every update. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
