For the record, libc6-i686 is not a useful comparision. libc6-sparc64 is standard (in the archive, the control file still says required). libc6-s390x is the same. libc6-ppc64 is required. libc6-i686 (like libc6-sparcv9) is something quite different - it's an optimization package, it doesn't enable any new functionality. I have no opinion on whether those priorities are right or whether libc6-amd64 should be consistent with them. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
