Package: libc6 Version: 2.10.2-8 Severity: serious Hello GNU Libc Maintainers,
libc6 now Depends on debconf. This creates a circular (pre)-dependency hell. You can see it at <http://debian.semistable.com/dot/zlib1g_unstable.png> Specifically: (->: Depends, =>: Pre-Depends) libc6 -> debconf => perl-base => libc6 libc6 -> debconf => perl-base => dpkg => libc6 libc6 Depends: debconf, debconf Pre-Depends: perl-base, perl-base Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), dpkg (>= 1.14.20) dpkg: Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3) Pre-Depends loops breaks upgrade. There is also an unrelated circular dependency on libgcc1. I note that the new Depends on debconf is not mentionned in the changelog so maybe it is unintentional. Cheers, -- Bill. <ballo...@debian.org> Imagine a large red swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
