The dependence on ldso is only for 'ldconfig' on powerpc (the latest ld.so source package will build just 'ldconfig' on powerpc and alpha). If you have a ldconfig binary already (these are usually statically linked), it is safe to ignore the libc6 pre-depends on ldso. I intend to build a new glibc with some code to handle lchown/chown on kernels with the new behavior and the old behavior (there is code in glibc to handle this for i386, but not powerpc, the code for i386 is actually architecture independent, all that is necessary is to copy it over to the powerpc sysdeps dir and edit syscalls.list). When I do that, I will build and upload ldso as well. -- Joel "Espy" Klecker Debian GNU/Linux Developer <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.espy.org/> <ftp://ftp.espy.org/pub/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
