Thanks a lot for the corrections.
After apt-file update I can indeed see libc6 and two additional packages,
scidavis and ugene.
About /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, does that mean that the Policy has to list
exceptions, (for files or packages ?), or that the proposal is obsolete ?
For the architectures, I was puzzled that Russ mentionned ‘with architecture
amd64’ in his proposal and tried to not discard this information. What
achitectures, or which packages in which architectures, should be listed as
exceptions ?
I will update the patch or remove the patch tag according to the answers
(hoping keep BTS control echo low).
Have a nice day,
