Hi Bill, while the title is only about /lib64, the main text of the original message in for this bug is about /lib64 and /usr/lib64. How about the following. Packages must not install files in <file>/lib64</file> and <file>/usr/lib64</file>. The <tt>libc6</tt> package is exempted from this restriction. I think that we are practical enough that, if we need another core package to ship files in these directories for a very good reason, this can happen before a revised version of the Policy is released.
