Package: glibc Severity: normal Every time a new glibc is uploaded that has a locales with a dependency on exactly that version of glibc, installs of unstable on every architecture are broken until the autobuilder catches up and builds glibc. Installs fail with errors like these: locales: Depends: glibc-2.3.2.ds1-22 which is a virtual package. (Currently failing like this on sparc, alpha, hppa, ...) This is because locales is arch all so it is available in unstable immediatly on all architectures, while the virtual package is provided by an arch any package which has to autobuild. This is really annoying if you're working on the debian installation on any of these architectures, since a new glibc upload can stall any useful testing of unstable installs for days at a time. Can you please try to find a solution to this? Making locales arch any would be one solution. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- see shy jo
