Public bug reported:
PPA buildds currently run Hardy, because they require Xen for VM
security. This means that all builds of precise packages freak out
because libc6 isn't upgradable in the build deps:
Preparing to replace libc6 2.13-24ubuntu2 (using
.../libc6_2.13-24ubuntu4_armel.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
FATAL: kernel too old
dpkg: warning: subprocess old post-removal script returned error exit
status 1
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
FATAL: kernel too old
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.13-24ubuntu4_armel.deb (--unpack):
subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1
FATAL: kernel too old
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess installed pre-installation script returned error exit
status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.13-24ubuntu4_armel.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
As a result, nothing at all will build.
How old is too old? It would be good to list which minimum kernel
revision to boot into, so we don't end up having to bisect through lots
of kernels. We generally have to do a lot of mangling to try and make
newer ones work with Xen.
