Package: libc6
Version: 2.21-0experimental1
I had an expermimental chroot on a system that happened to be running an
old kernel. I got an error message about needing a 2.6.32 kernel which
was strange as I already had a 2.6.32 kernel.
Reading the preinst revealed
# The GNU libc requires a >= 3.2 kernel, found in wheezy
if linux_compare_versions "$kernel_ver" lt 3.2
then
echo WARNING: this version of the GNU libc requires kernel
version
echo 2.6.32 or later. Please upgrade your kernel before
installing
echo glibc.
kernel26_help
exit 1
fi
So it's checking for 3.2 but telling the user they need 2.6.32.
