Hi guys,
You have a bunch of RC bugs open:
* #180619: Illegal instruction in /lib/libpthread-0.10.so on linux/mipsel
Apparently this is a kernel problem, not a glibc problem.
<neuro> 180619 is a kernel thing
<aj> definitely?
<neuro> 180619? yes
It should then be reassigned to the appropriate kernel package.
* #179781: dcgui: relocation error: /usr/bin/dcgui: undefined symbol: __fixunsdfdi
* #180330: libc6, relocation error (dcgui)
* #178645: glibc: needs to export __umoddi3 et al. on sparc
These are apparently all be the same problem, so the latter
bug should be merged with the first two; and they seem to be
due to problems in gcc/binutils, so they should probably be
reassigned there.
* #175526: [m68k] nearly all gcc-3.2 tests fail with glibc-2.3
Possibly a gcc problem, that will be fixed when gcc builds.
* #173082: libnss-db_2.2-6.1(hppa/unstable): FTBFS: assumes __LT_SPINLOCK_INIT is int
Probably a libnss-db problem. ``Conflicts: ... libnss-db (<<
2.2-6)'' from libc6 might be wrong; it seems like it should be
"<= 2.2-6" if there's been significant changes made.
* #171659: glibc: Sun RPC code is non-free
Not necessarily a problem; needs to be properly investigated.
The GNU FDL part of this should be fixed upstream.
Which is to say most of these bugs need to be moved and fixed in other
packages; keeping them listed on glibc isn't doing anyone any good if
the problem's not actually in glibc.
The aim's to ensure that glibc doesn't break things -- by including being
backwards compatible, and fixing your own bugs, or including Conflicts
as appropriate or whatever else. Problems amongst packages need to be
handled using dependency info to make sure testing and partial updates
work, not by filing other packages' bugs against glibc.
Cheers,
aj
