Bug#278729: kernel-image-2.6-k7: kernel-image-2.6*-k7* and 2.6*-686* should recommend libc6-i686
Package: kernel-image-2.6-k7
Version: 2.6.8-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
In package libc6-i686 description I see this info:
This set of libraries is optimized for i686 machines, and will only be used
if you are running a 2.6 kernel on an i686 class CPU (check the output of
`uname -m'). This includes Pentium Pro, Pentium II/III/IV, Celeron CPU's
and similar class CPU's (including clones such as AMD Athlon/Opteron, VIA
C3 Nehemiah, but not VIA C3 Ezla).
This package includes support for NPTL.
As I understant from this information, most systems, which have these CPUs
should have installed libc6-i686 package, so please add libc6-i686 to
recommends field of all kernel-image-2.6*-k7* and kernel-image-2.6*-686*
packages. Also I think, that all kernel-image-2.6*-amd64* packages should
recommend libc6-i686 too.
Thanks for maintaining,
