Bug#326492: Please conflict with libterm-readline-gnu-perl << 1.15-2
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-6
Severity: serious
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I just did a glibc upgrade, and then many, many packages failed to
configure, leaving the system quite broken. It turns out this is a bug
in libterm-readline-gnu-perl which is exposed in the new glibc (see
304604 and 322746).
While this is indeed not actually a bug in libc6, it still no less
breaks the system, and will likely even break sarge -> etch upgrades.
Also, testing is broken now, because the new libterm-readline-gnu-perl
is not present.
I think if libc6 were to declare a versioned conflict on old versions of
libterm-readline-gnu-perl, this would prevent the problem from
happening. If that's correct, could you please add it?
