Hi Holger, While a workaround is nice to have, I don't know that just documenting this and then hoping that people will actually read the release notes (they don't!) is really the best solution. I assume we would all agree that documenting a hack and hoping people find the documentation is vastly inferior to fixing the problem properly.
Note also that this workaround is not possible if you have libc6-dev installed (possibly other packages required too) -- if you do, then you find what amounts to #676483: -------- 8< -------- # apt-get install xml-core Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-dev : Breaks: gcc-4.4 (< 4.4.6-4) but 4.4.5-8 is to be installed E: Broken packages -------- 8< -------- I suspect having libc6-686 installed would also be sufficient to cause this. This is the same xml-core → sgml-base → dpkg chain now extending to dpkg → (various libraries like) liblzma5 → multiarch-support → libc6. Note that the versioned dependency of multiarch-support on libc6 is different on i386 to amd64, meaning that multiarch-support requires libc6 to be upgraded on i386 but does not on amd64 -- is jenkins.d.n only looking at amd64? I hope this bug will not get ignored over on release-notes... it was at least getting more eyes looking at it when it was assigned to general. cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint BE65 FD1E F4EA 08F3 23D4 3C6D 9FE8 B8CD 71C5 D1A8 GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
