File a bug report on libc6. I guess that the runtime kernel version detection is not the proper way to do this. IIRC, on debian-boot, there was some discussion on this. > BTW, i did a clean install of woody and then a 'dist-upgrade' to testing. > Shouldn't that work without first having to manually install a newer kernel > version. Not until Debian Sarge is actually released. With the release, there should be a working upgrade plan. Sometimes, a single dist-upgrade is not sufficient. > And, as a second question: the libc6 package seems to look at the version > of the kernel during it's installation (not by means of 'Depends' in > the control file). A Depends: would make installing a self-compiled (without kernel-package) kernel-image impossible or a dummy-package would have to be installed. The latter, however, would make the whole thing senseless.
