Bug#565991: nscd on 32-bit etch depends on libc6-amd64 after security update
Package: nscd
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch10
After the latest security update (DSA-1973-1, 19 January 2010) of etch
(oldstable), the i386 version of nscd package has suddenly started to
depend on libc6-amd64 (>= 2.3.5-1). On 32-bit systems, I see no reason
for such dependence. For us, this would mean installing a useless
package on a number of legacy 32-bit systems.
In the previous version (2.3.6.ds1-13etch9+b1), the dependence was on
libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6). This has now been replaced with the 64-bit version
as quoted above. I believe the change needs to be reverted to a 32-bit
version.
