1 glibc (2.9-8) unstable; urgency=low
3 Starting with version 2.9-8, unified IPv4/IPv6 lookup have been enabled
4 in the glibc's resolver. This is faster, fixes numerous of bugs, but is
5 problematic on some broken DNS servers and/or wrongly configured
8 If such a DNS server is detected, the resolver switches (permanently
9 for that process) to a mode where the second request is sent only when
10 the first answer has been received. This means the first request will
11 be timeout, but subsequent requests should be fast again. This
12 behaviour can be enabled permanently by adding 'options single-request'

17 glibc (2.6.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
19 Starting with version 2.6.1, glibc ships a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf that
20 enforces /usr/local/lib to take precedence over /usr/lib. This is the
21 intended behaviour (it works like the $PATH where /usr/local/bin takes
22 precedence over /usr/bin).
24 To revert that (though doing so is discouraged) you can add /usr/lib to the
25 beginning of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf. (see bug#440394).

29 glibc (2.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
31 The script tzconfig has been removed from glibc 2.5-1 and following
32 versions. Please use 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' instead to configure

37 glibc (2.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
39 Starting with version 2.5-1, the glibc requires a 2.6.1 or later
40 kernel. If you use a 2.4 kernel, please upgrade it *before*
43 This also means that it is not possible to use LD_ASSUME_KERNEL with a
44 version lower than 2.6.1. If you have set such a thing in /etc/profile,
45 ~/.bashrc or any other initialization file (something you should have
46 never done!!!), please remove that *before* installing glibc.
48 Note: This does not apply to the m68k architecture and to non-Linux
