Dear release team, I realize that this request arrives late in the release cycle, sorry about that. Starting with glibc 2.31-4 uploaded back in November, the libnsl2 library is not provided by the libc6 package but by a separate package. The libc6 package depends in libnsl2 to ensure that the library is installed, but we would like to remove that dependency at some point as it creates a dependency cycle. For that it is enough to just rebuild packages against glibc >= 2.31-4, which happened already for all affected packages (through maintainer upload or binNMUs), except one: nmu postfix_3.5.6-1 . ANY . unstable . -m "Rebuilt against recent glibc to get a dependency on libnsl" I guess the risk for this rebuild is low and might happen anyway at some point during a security upload. Thanks for considering. Regards, Aurelien
