Bug#435265: wrong check for kernel-versions in libc6.preinst (requires >2.6.8, but error-message says >2.6.1)

[nostromo eiljeen <nostromo@risc.uni-linz.ac.at>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.5-9+b1
Severity: important


when installing libc6 on a 2.6.7-1-686 kernel, the error-text of the
preinst-script says:

    WARNING: POSIX threads library NPTL requires kernel version
    2.6.1 or later. If you use a kernel 2.4, please upgrade it
    before installing glibc.

but in fact the preinst-script tests for "2.6.7" (test 20607 -lt 20608)

   215     test $verA -$2 $verB

so either the test is wrong, or the package does require linux-image
2.6.7 or higher, instead of 2.6.1 as suggested by the error-message.
