[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#335297: debian/deps-glibc script

[Robert Millan]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

Because of the DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM change in dpkg, the debian/deps-glibc
script has been effectively disabled for some time now (except on gnu/hurd,
where sysvinit isn't used anyway..).

Since nobody complained, perhaps it can be removed now.

However, if you still want to keep it, I would suggest using:

  http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/porting/get_libc_path.c

to obtain the Glibc soname portably.

(please note, though, that versioned dependency on >= 2.3.2.ds1-12 should not
be used on GNU/kFreeBSD)
