Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-sparc32 Severity: important
Hi, As already discussed in the past [1], there is currently a circular dependency on sparc32 between recent kernel image packages available in Debian unstable and recent `libc6' packages. This problem makes it practically impossible to upgrade from stable to unstable or testing (I doubt the solution proposed in [2] really works since one won't be able to launch _any_ executable coming from `stable' once the the new glibc is in place, due to symbol versioning). Also, there doesn't seem to be any `kernel-image-2.4.26-*' package in `testing' as said in [3]. The `kernel-image-2.4.27-1-sparc32' package in there depends on `libc6' which is known to depend on a 2.4.21 or newer kernel. Building a new "transitional" kernel image was proposed [4] but it doesn't seem to be available so far. Thanks, Ludovic.
