Hello kernel maintainers, While potential solutions to this bug are being discussed, would you please consider removing the Provides from linux-libc-dev?
They can be re-instated again later, in combination with the requested symlinks, or the binary package can be transitioned to cross-toolchain-base, or some other solution found. I would hope that we can figure out the future of this package, without leaving cross-building broken. Last month, Sean asked you: > In [1], Bastian proposes that Matthias <doko> take over the > linux-libc-dev binary package, building it from one of the crossbuilding > source packages he maintains. Different people have been reading > Bastian's e-mail differently as to whether it was a serious proposal for > how to resolve the dispute, or just a rhetorical device Bastian was > using to make a point. > > In any case, doko is among those who took the offer seriously. > > In two messages written today, Bastian appears to say both that he > is okay with resolving the dispute that way, and also that he is not. > > I am writing seeking some clarity.
