Request : Libc6 > 2.3.2ds-20

[Dafatfab]

Hello,

I've read the guidelines but I even do my request about the famous problem with the actual libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu13.

More and more multimedia applications (for exemple marillat packages) are request a libc6 >= 2.3.2.ds1-21...

The Breezy branch have a 2.3.5 libc6 so, no problem for the future version and I know that libc6 cause dependances problems with locales...

So, is there any chance that a libc6 >= 2.3.2.ds1-21 can be backported ?


Thanks a lot !

That would mean recompiling all the packages... :roll:

You don't need Marillat, everything is in Hoary, backports and extras repos.

Ok, thanks for the answer.
So, this package is too major for expecting a backport... no problem ! :grin:

Try adding this to your sources list

deb http://demudi.agnula.org/packages/demudi testing main

It may have what you are looking for. :)

Thanks for the link...I will try it. O:)

But, I don't want too much play with libc6.... [-X

put simply, if you change the libc6 to a newer version, everything that depends on it will need a recompile... which is most of ubuntu.

Hence why there's so many changes for breezy ;)

I can definatly understand the concern, however the upgrade that was perfomed on my sysetm was a simple libc6 2.3.2-20ubuntu13 -> libc6 2.3.2-22demudi1. Updating this library has allowed me to use some other updates that required the libc6 2.3.2-21 in order to install without complaints. Broken dependencies are sometimes not a large issue, but when they pop-up it drives me mad. :)

One example is clamtk 2.02, it depends on 0.8.6 clamav, but I have 0.8.5. After installing the deb package, complaints regarding broken dependencies. Since clamtk is as it says, tk, I downloaded the source and boom it works normally, as it did prior, but no dependency complaints. ;-)

Sometimes, it would seem, it is better to compile and install from source.

im trying to install superkaramba from a deb but it needs libc6-2.3.2.ds1-21. is there a work around for this or should A) wait until breezy is stable or B) use superkaramba v0.36?

Okay, great, it works :) Thanx alot \\:D/

Will anyone ever support 64-bit?! :cry:
