Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.13-38
Severity: important

Hello,

I tried building a C program with libc-dev installed.

The program would not build because headers were missing:

libc6-dev-i386: /usr/include/bits
libc6-dev:amd64: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/predefs.h
linux-libc-dev:amd64: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm/errno.h
gcc-multilib: /usr/include/asm


For the asm/errno.h (referenced from common header) to be present gcc-multilib must be installed.

Similarily for bits/predefs.h to be present libc6-dev-i386 must be installed.

The libc6-dev package is incomplete and cannot stand on its own.

Dependency on gcc-multilib is bogus. It requires specific version of gcc installed.

Also, libc6-dev does not depend on these packages.

Please make a libc package against which C programs do compile.

Thanks

Michal

Ok, closing the bug.
