Package: libc6 Version: 2.24-11+deb9u2 Severity: important This seems to be a regression in the stretch-proposed-updates release 2.24.11+deb9u2, at least I did not observe it when going jessie->stretch, or in the 2.24.11->2.24.11+deb9u1 update.
And yes, I am sure the file was created by 2.24.11+deb9u2, since I noticed it due to etckeeper. Fix: run dpkg-reconfigure libc6:amd64 after the update. It detects that /etc/ld.so.nohwcap is not needed anymore, and unlinks it. Update details: aptitude and dpkg logs attached. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-debug'), (990, 'proposed-updates'), (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.66+ (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libc6:amd64 depends on: ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-18 libc6:amd64 recommends no packages.
