| rrq | hmm.. apparently "libc6" has become "optional" in beowulf (buster) | 04:08 |
|---|---|---|
| fsmithred | wtf? | 04:10 |
| kilobyte | libraries are worth nothing without something depending on them | 04:13 |
| kilobyte | obviously, this particular lib is transitively essential | 04:13 |
| kilobyte | but the moment everything in minbase gets recompiled against hypothethical libc7, it's time to autoremove that package | 04:14 |
| fsmithred | when is libc7 coming | 04:15 |
| fsmithred | ? | 04:15 |
| kilobyte | a better example: you want libsystemd0 installed only if something depends on it | 04:15 |
| fsmithred | last I checked, everything depends on libc6 | 04:15 |
| kilobyte | yeah, but that's not a reason for it to have an elevated priority | 04:16 |
| fsmithred | oh, right. It will get installed anyway. | 04:16 |
| rrq | edge case: if you also use main/debian-installer then libc6-udeb provides libc6, so if libc6-udeb is on the list, apt doesn't pull libc6 for a pre-depends install. | 04:30 |
| rrq | i.e. apt doesn;t see that libc6-udeb should be installed before dpkg-deb (which pre-depends on libc6) | 04:31 |
| rrq | that is a slight bother (for me) | 04:33 |
