Bug#435640: libc6: upgrade from etch to sid breaks proftpd

[Marc Langer <marc@marclanger.de>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.6-5
Severity: normal

I'm not sure if this is the right package, so please feel free to reassign
this bug report.

After upgrading only libc6 from 2.3.6.ds1-13 (stable) to 2.6-5 (unstable)
(NOT upgraded the complete system) the stable proftpd version 1.3.0-19 throws:

proftpd: (accepting connections): relocation error: /lib/i686/cmov/libresolv.so.2: symbol __res_iclose, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

and terminates external connections at once.

Updating proftpd to the unstable version 1.3.0-24 helped, after this
everything was fine again.

If this should be considered a bug in proftpd, I appreciated a change to the version
in etch (perhaps a dependency on libc6 < 2.6 is sufficient?) so that
updating libc6 does not affect proftpd without notification.
