Bug#188843: DSA-282-1 glibc upgrade fails if gcc-3.0 is installed
Package: libc6-sparc64
Version: 2.2.5-11.5
Severity: important
Tags: woody
The official upgrade from version 2.2.5-11.2 to 2.2.5-11.5 (as suggested
by "DSA-282-1 glibc -- integer overflow" from 09 Apr 2003) fails to
install if any package related to gcc-3.0 is installed. Unfortunately,
these packages are required by libc6-sparc64's own development package
(libc6-dev-sparc64).

Temporary workaround: Removing libc6-dev-sparc64 and everything related
to gcc-3.0 (cpp-3.0, libgcc1, gcc-3.0-base, gcc-3.0) allows libc6-sparc64
version 2.2.5-11.5 to install. Going back to version 2.2.5-11.2 also
works, but leaves the system vulnerable.
