Package: libc6 Version 2.10.1-5 When I try to upgrade libc6 with dpkg (yeah, I still do that occasionally) from 2.7-18 to 2.10.1-5, it unpacks before noticing that libc-bin is not there. This leaves the system without a copy of ldconfig.
Should the dependency on libc-bin be a Pre-Depends? transcript: # dpkg --install libc6_2.10.1-5_i386.deb (Reading database ... 76867 files and directories currently installed.)
