Package: glibc-doc-reference Version: 2.11.1-1 Severity: normal The manual is obsolete. It is said:
This is Edition 0.12, last updated 2007-10-27, of `The GNU C Library Reference Manual', for Version 2.8 of the GNU C Library. But the current libc version in Debian is 2.11. For instance, for customizing printf, the manual says to use register_printf_function, but this function is now deprecated. BTW, that's strange that the package version doesn't reflect the glibc version the manual has been written for. This is confusing. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages glibc-doc-reference depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.4 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in glibc-doc-reference recommends no packages. glibc-doc-reference suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
