I'm certain this has been asked before, but since the search engine for the mailing list archive down, please excuse me.
Why? Why have this enormously difficult and disruptive move from libc5 to libc6? I'm basically unable to install any new .deb packages until such time as Debian 2.0 is released, because it would appear to be quite difficult to upgrade to libc6 without a CD-ROM, since FTP upgrades are tricky over a modem connection. I'm sure there are advantages to the new GNU libc, but as far as I recall no one has explained them on this list. What advantages does the new but incompatible version have, to justify the effort?
