The last message I saw on the bug page mentioned that the glibc-2.5-1 virtual package is provided by libc6 2.5-2. But I've just done a system update (on unstable) and the available version of libc6 is 2.5-1. Furthermore, according to http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libc6, 2.5-2 is the version on amd64 -- for i386, the version is 2.5-1. For this latter version the control info has "Provides: glibc-2.5.0-0exp1, glibc-2.5.0-0exp2"
Could it be that the glibc-2.5-1 virtual package is only provided by the version of libc6 for amd64, but not by i386? Selim T. Erdoğan
