Package: base-files Version: 6.4 Severity: wishlist Up to know libc6 is providing a /lib64 -> /lib symlink on amd64, kfreebsd-amd64, ppc64 and sparc64. With multiarch it's not possible for libc6 to provide such a symlink anymore as the package can be installed (using multiarch) on a 32-bit system. See bug#632176 for more details.
It looks like the best place to place such a symbolic link is in base-files. Could you please provide it in base-files for the above architectures? For that you need to add a Replace: libc6 (<< 2.13-10) (to be adjusted to the current libc6 version). When done, I'll remove the symlink from libc6 and add the necessary dependencies. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages base-files depends on: ii gawk [awk] 1:3.1.7.dfsg-5 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii mawk [awk] 1.3.3-15 a pattern scanning and text proces ii original-awk [awk] 2011-05-06-1 The original awk described in "The base-files recommends no packages. base-files suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
