Bug#58770: libc6: Problem when upgrading.



Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.3-2
Severity: normal

 Libc6 now predepends on debianutils, and run the "readlink" binary when
installing. The problem is that debianutils predepends on libc6 2.1, and
readlink gives coredump with libc6 2.0. I've got this problem when upgrading
from a Corel distro, this may impact slink users too. readlink could esily
replaced with "ls -l | sed ...." (or expr, or even bash builtins).

 BTW, it wouldn't be such a bad idea for libc6 to have static binary
postinst/preinst files...
