Slink, tkdesk and libc6_2.1

1999-08-31 Thread John Forest
Hope this is the right place to mention this: Did an apt-get update this morning and found package tkdesk in slink/proposed-updates has a new revision which depends on libc6 (=2.1) (dists/proposed-updates/tkdesk_1.1-3_i386.deb) I believe this to be an oversight. Isn't slink; libc6 2.1 ??
