Package: glibc
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

This is a followup to bug #324526.

I think that the warnings about __ctype_* symbols which can be found
in /usr/share/doc/libc6/README.Debian.gz (and not in the FAQ as
wrongly indicated in the changelog.Debian) should be in a NEWS.Debian
file as this change can severely break non-related applications. This
should warn users of this problem before glibc is installed and allow
them to cancel the installation if unsure.

BTW thanks for providing the workaround and the needed information!


Fred
