libc6 pre-depends bash
bash pre-depends libc6
Definition of a pre-dep, is it must be installed and _configured_ before
unpacking the package. You tell me, how do you sanely resolve that case?
Besides, it's common sense that you are never going to install libc6 on
a machine that does not have libc6 installed (upgrades from bo
excluded). This is a chicken-and-egg question.
