Bug#836262: libnih1 has a dependency conflict with libc6 in sid
Package: libnih1
Version: 1.0.3-5+b1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I recently performed a dist-upgrade on my sid system and discovered that
libnih1 became uninstalled because it requires a libc6 version that is
<< 2.24. However, libc6 is now apparently version 2.24-1 which conflicts
with libnih1.
This became a problem for me because the lxc package recommends the
cgmanager package which then depends on libnih1. lxc then gets
uninstalled after performing the dist-upgrade. I have force-installed
libnih1 on my system despite the supposed conflict and have not noticed
lxc having any errors or failing to work.
