(There are no "bad versions" of libc here; there are versions that need libc-bin, and there are versions that don't, and you need some way to pull libc-bin in for those versions that do need it.) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
