Unstable of the day, actually. > so how did dh_shlibdeps even find glibc 2.3? glibc 2.3.1-1 had a broken shlibs file: binaries would be built with symbols from 2.3, but their packages would only have dependencies on 2.2. This was fixed in 2.3.1-2, but a few packages sneaked through in the meantime. Since testing only looks at package dependencies and it seems nobody filed an RC bug in time, the broken sendmail made it through by mistake. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
