Bug#184696: libc6: Outdated libc6 ? (problem with recent OpenOffice snapshots)
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-14
Severity: normal
I have had problems with recent OpenOffice snapshots (644m1 and 644m4). The
644m1 crashes in various situations, complaining of a runtime linking problem,
644m4 doesn't even start and hangs silently. See
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11695 for one bug report.
The answer from the OpenOffice team has been :

We don't run on glibc 2.3.1 because of a problem in the glibc.
It appears (in other bug reports about similar issues) that the issue is
related to "a problem" (undescribed) in 2.3.1 and that a newer 2.3.2 glibc
solves the problem.
1) Is that already known ?
2) If so, what are the plans to solve it ? Port this library to Debian
unstable ? If so, when ? If not, what else ?
Sincerely,
Emmanuel Charpentier
