Should (not) Bug#22941 be fixed before release?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Bug #22941 is "libreadline2 depends on libc6".

I reported it as "important", because all oldlibs are libc5 based, and
the user should be able to upgrade ldso and the required oldlibs
before installing any other libc6 package, i.e. we should not force the
user to follow any upgrade path, even if there is a "recommended" one.

I think that if we don't fix it before hamm release, fixing it after hamm
release will be too late, because then very few users will benefit from
the fix.

[ Since I don't want to cut and paste from private email, I will let
  Brian to explain his reasons to downgrade this bug to "normal" ].


p.s. Partially related to this: There were a lot of bugs about security
holes in /tmp which were also downgraded to normal. Does this mean that
security holes are not important anymore?

Thanks.
