Sorry about the duplicate mails, Marcus; I forgot to CC the group.
I --force-depends'ed libc0.2-dev because I couldn't find gnumach-dev
or hurd-dev. I don't think I should need the gnumach-dev package now
since I installed gnumach from the source, which installed all the
headers. I figured I wouldn't need the hurd-dev too for the same
reason (and I don't think the hurd should need it's own headers,
right?). I did a --contains on libc0.2-dev and didn't see any
cthread.h in there. Where does the cthread implimentation live? Is
there a separate lib or am I just doing something horribly wrong?
Also, what version of the glibc source should I use if I want to
compile it?
<snip>
FYI: Perhaps debconf wasn't added because of the dependency on apt,
which was broken? Something about this was mentioned in the post
where you said it was being added.
Thanks,
Jamie
