Bug#325757: sparc32: catch-22 between kernel-image-2.4 and libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22

[Peter Hanappe <hanappe@csl.sony.fr>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22
Severity: grave

On sparc32/sun4m:

I'm upgrading from kernel 2.2.20 to 2.4.27 using the command:

# apt-get install -f kernel-image-2.4.27-2-sparc32

The kernel package depends on libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_sparc.
The installation of libc6 fails with the message:

  WARNING: You have a cpu which requires kernel 2.4.21
  or greater in order to install this version of glibc.
  Please upgrade the kernel before installing this package.

kernel 2.4.27 requires libc6_2.3.2 but libc6_2.3.2 requires kernel
2.4.21 or greater. Any solutions?

Thanks
Peter Hanappe
