Hi,
libc6-dev is not available on all of the Debian platforms so a build
dependency on lib6-dev will cause the program not to compile on systems without
libc6-dev. This problem has been solved with build-essentials and the libc-dev
virtual package which is part of build-essentials.
So, here is a list of package that have build-dependencies on libc6-dev for
no reason at all. I'll start filing bugs if these don't get fixed or there is
a reason I should file the bugs.
at-spi
atlas-cpp
authbind
auto-apt
bfr -- also build depends on c-compiler.
fenris
gail
glib1.2
gtimer
ketm
libart-lgpl
libgail-gnome
libgda2
libgnomedb
libmcal -- also build depends on gcc
multi-gnome-terminal
nss-multidomain
pciutils
prozilla
python-utmp
rproxy -- also build depends on gcc, make, dpkg-dev
rscheme
skstream
smail
spidermonkey
sweep -- Actually depends on libc6-dev | libc-dev, but also depends on make,
gcc, and dpkg-dev
tcpspy
varconf
wmget
dsniff
libnss-pgsql
The following packages depend on a versioned libc6-dev but don't include
libc0.3-dev.
rstatd
valgrind
xaw3d
The following have build dependencies on libc0.2 which doesn't exist any more.
nfs-user-server
lilypond
netkit-bootparamd
netkit-rusers
netkit-rwall
All this information was found via:
grep-dctrl -F Build-Depends -s Package,Build-Depends libc6-dev *_Sources
*_Sources is http.us.d.o... unstable and non-us....unstable
