This is incorrect because libc6 is specific to GNU/Linux. The corresponding package for GNU is libc0.3-dev but other OSes will have different ones. You can locate the problem in the debian/control file of the source tree. Typical solutions include detecting the OS using dpkg-architecture and hardcoding the soname, or better, use a logical OR. eg: libc6-dev | libc0.3-dev | libc-dev. The libc-dev is a virtual package that works for any soname but you have to put it only as the last option. +---- + +## <a name="ChangeLog"> ChangeLog </a> + -- [[Main/RobertMillan]] - 22 Jul 2002 Formatting and minor grammatical fixes. |
