There isn't one. I assumed you, as libc5-to-libc6 maintainer, knew that. Yes, it is theoretically possible to make libc5/libc5-dev, libc-6/libc6-altdev packages, all using the old utmp format (among other things), but I don't see the point in doubling development effort for the few people who want to straddle the fence. Either stay on bo or upgrade to hamm. I'll be making a bo-unstable distribution this weekend for anybody who wants to upload libc5 versions of their packages. That'll hopefully take away some of the impetus from this discussion. > | libc5-5.4.33-3 | OK | OK | What we USED to have in bo That was before we had a libc5 with libc6 format utmp.
