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.
