Package: nscd
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch10
Severity: important


Applying security updates for DSA=1973-1 (gblic), I noticed nscd marked 
as held.  If I force an install, aptitude wants to install libc6-amd64 
as well.

I've checked 
/var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_etch_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages 
and confirmed that the dependency exists there as well.

The rest of the package updates related the the DSA went through, as 
evidenced by the libc6 version in System Information below.

Thanks,
Sheldon.
