Ah, so the main libc6 packages already have NPTL? I don't need to install libc6-i686 to get NPTL? Cool (you should make that more obvious in the package description for libc6-i686, that you do not need it for NPTL). -- Cesar Eduardo Barros [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
