There's definitely a failure log on buildd.debian.org, so it indeed appears to not be fixed yet. Do we have a timeline for getting the fixed glibc into unstable? Enough other packages are blocked by perl[1] that, if the glibc fix is going to take us outside of the 2-3 week timeline suggested in my previous message, I would be inclined to suggest ignoring mips,mipsel for the duration so that this particular problem doesn't continue to stall sarge. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer [1] http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/stalls.html is vastly understated; at last count, I personally know of 46 other packages held up by perl because of relationships that require hinting, so who knows how much is really being blocked by this.
