Bug Description

glibc2.0, libnih and upstart all have hard coded upper dependencies on libc6 (<< 2.11). Just seeing this when trying to test-install an eglibc-2.11.1 upload. Note that this one doesn't differ in the upstream sources besides another release tag. So the current approach hard-coding the upper limit already did fail to detect the case to conflict with anything newer than 2.10.x, which apparently should have been detected.

Adding for now versioned conflicts against these three packages conflicting with the new libc6 in libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu1.

Not sure what you mean with hardcoded; these are from the libc6.symbols deps.

In the case of glib2.0, I see it's at least using __abort_msg which will cause a dep on libc6 (>> 2.10), libc6 (<< 2.11); this is added in a packaging patch.

ugly ... the upper dependencies are defined in eglibc. so the correct upgrade procedure should have been for eglibc:

 - make an 2.11 test build, ensuring these symbols still exist
 - upload an 2.10.x build with s/<<2.11/<< 2.12)
 - binNMU all packages with <<2.11 dependencies
 - upload 2.11 with << 2.12 symbols

This bug was fixed in the package eglibc - 2.11~20100104-0ubuntu5

---------------
eglibc (2.11~20100104-0ubuntu5) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/*symbols*: Replace the upper dependency on (<< 2.11) with (<< 2.12).
    dpkg-gensymbols didn't complain about missing symbols in earlier uploads.
    LP: #508702.
  * Add expected testsuite failures:
    - tst-cputimer1.out (powerpc 64bit).
