I can confirm that it is *not* true that static binaries compiled against 2.2 (i.e. woody libc6) will function with 2.3.1-3, and I'm more concerned about that than I am about doing this all over again in the future (i.e. until this is resolved, there will be no clean way to handle a partial upgrade from woody to sarge). But just so I get this right, it is now true that anything compiled statically against 2.3.1-3+ should work even on a future system running libc6, say, 4.5.9? -- Zed Pobre <zed@debian.org> a.k.a.
