Obviously. Which is why libc6 2.2.2-2 has an shlib dep for "libc6 (>=
2.2.2-2)". Note that (as you can see from the changelog) that right now
our glibc is following CVS. CVS is in a flux inbetween 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.
If you want pure 2.2.2, then use 2.2.2-1. Almost everything that isn't
-1 is a CVS patchup.
