I agree. This way Debian will keep its high quality, something that differentiates Debian from other distributions. Two of the packages I maintain (ncpfs and smbfs) have severe bugs in RedHat's port to libc6. The only explanation I can think of is that they rushed the release of the new version and they did not test at all. I am glad Debian is not doing that :-) E.- -- Eloy A.
