Re: JOEL BAKER, STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO DEPEND ON LIBC-DEV *INSTEAD* OF LIBC6-DEV

What about erasing the dependency totally?

From the list of build-essential_7 :

BEGIN LIST OF PACKAGES
libc6-dev [!alpha !hurd-i386] | libc0.3-dev [hurd-i386] | libc6.1-dev [alpha] | libc-dev

Because it's in Depends, not Build-Depends. Users aren't required to install build-essential.

Of course, in order to actually use the -dev packages you've installed, you have to install gcc, which depends on libc-dev...
