These packages are to address a particular problem - updating the version to support NPTL and TLS, without breaking everyone else. So in this context, no. In general I don't handle locale-related bugs so you'll have to get a response to that bug from one of our other glibc maintainers on debian-glibc. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
