Package: libc6 Version: 2.11.2-9 Severity: minor
Without /usr/local/lib64 symlink to /usr/local/lib many local installations of upstream projects (not that I am encouraging such cruel activity) would install into /usr/local/lib64 on amd64 systems. Since symlink is not available, install would create a directory /usr/local/lib64 to place the content; but default Debian setup of ldconfig does not include any of */lib64 directories, so those libraries would not become readily available. Having a symlink /usr/local/lib64 -> /usr/local/lib should make our systems "friendlier" to the users willing sacrificing piece of mind by installing something 'locally'. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (300, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.11.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library libc6 recommends no packages.
