Public bug reported: glibc2.0, libnih and upstart all have hard coded upper dependencies on libc6 (<< 2.11). Just seeing this when trying to test-install an eglibc-2.11.1 upload. Note that this one doesn't differ in the upstream sources besides another release tag. So the current approach hard-coding the upper limit already did fail to detect the case to conflict with anything newer than 2.10.x, which apparently should have been detected.
Adding for now versioned conflicts against these three packages conflicting with the new libc6 in libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu1. ** Affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Affects: libnih (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: libnih (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => lucid-alpha-3 ** Changed in: libnih (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: libnih (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: libnih (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => lucid-alpha-3 ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => lucid-alpha-3 -- upper dependencies on libc6 (<< 2.11) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508702 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
