Package: libc6 Version: 2.19-11 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
While testing cross toolchains [1], dpkg bailed out when trying to overwrite a shared file with different contents. Particularly, /lib/ld.so.1 is different on powerpc, mips, and mipsel. I only checked arches listed under 'Foreign Architectures' below; upstream has list at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/ABIList Since ld.so is the single most important file on a system, it is hard-coded in all existing binaries, but at least the conflict needs to be declared. (Theoretically, Debian doesn't officially need to support binaries that don't come from .deb packages or Debian-provided gcc, so it might be possible to remove the conflict in the long term. Practically, it would be dangerous to change it on native arches, but sufficient packaging magic can ensure that users who don't opt in never see the difference.) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 armel powerpc arm64 armhf mips mipsel Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libgcc1 1:4.9.1-14 libc6 recommends no packages.
