Bug#455603: Suggests or recommends libc6-i686
found 455603 2.9-23 thanks The bug seems to have been inadvertently reintroduced in 2.9-23 (svn revision 3665, to be exact). As a result, nothing on my system has a dependency on libc6-i686 anymore. I also agree that Recommends would be preferable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Recommends might actually make sense, because at this point a pre-686 system might well qualify as an unusual installation per Policy 7.2, and on such a system libc6-i686 will do no harm other than taking up space. I would go for a simple Suggests as the kernel already have a Recommends, all persons that have a Debian kernel should already have this package.

Well, debian/control of libc6 is already a mess, I'm not very keen on adding that one. Moreover, linux-image-2.6-686 and higher will pull it already so I'm not sure it's needed here. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O[EMAIL PROTECTED] OOOhttp://www.madism.org pgp4SFMgwSiM4.pgp Description: PGP signature
