Glibc broke nothing in this case. Wine was written badly and couldn't cope with other things changing on the system. I would accept this if this were a package with a static binary that broke because of the NSS changes. Then it's something that we broke - it's our problem. Wine doesn't fall into that category. The grief I'm refering to is that we then have to decide - Do we add conflicts for deb's that aren't part of Debian like winex, and all that various vendor jdks? Where does it stop? Why should we conflict against every badly written package? Tks, Jeff Bailey
