Ah, okay. I don't tend to report bugs on packages in experimental. I
assumed it was still in there because it was known to be broken.
I haven't looked into it much. It doesn't seem to like some of the
patch files in Debian glibc's patch tree. Someone suggested it was the
difference between tabs or spaces or something like that in the header.
It looks like that bug report has fallen off the end of the list kept by
bugs.debian.org. It's easy to reproduce the test, though. Upgrade to
the patch in experimental, then apt-get source glibc. Cd into the
directory and type `debian/rules setup'. That goes through and attempts
to unpack the archive and apply all of the patches.
With everything else going on in glibc, I don't have time to dig into it
more than that, sorry.
Tks,
Jeff Bailey
