Bug Description

Binary package hint: unscd

Should depend on libc6 < 2.14 (inline with Debian) so that it can be installed. Under natty, it is not installable as it depends on libc6 < 2.13

$ apt-cache policy unscd
unscd:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.47-2
  Version table:
     0.47-2 0

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04
Codename: natty

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 unscd : Depends: libc6 (< 2.13) but 2.13-0ubuntu13 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
 See Debian has it correct http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/unscd

TEST CASE:
1. Try installing the unscd package. It fails with the above message.
2. The rebuild package from natty-proposed installs.

Must be a bug in the build time, as libc6 isn't a dependency until compile time. Compiling the package under natty gives the correct Depends.

Package from repo
Depends: libc6 (>> 2.12), libc6 (<< 2.13)

Package built from source in repo with debuild
Depends: libc6 (>> 2.13~), libc6 (<< 2.14)

The "problem" is that unscd got build when libc6 2.12 was current in natty and not rebuild later with libc6 2.13 (resulting in updated dependencies).

Accepted unscd into natty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

You know, edos-debcheck can be used to ensure all packages in a given release
are installable. (Also, why is this still in -proposed?)

I've checked the package from natty-proposed and it installs fine in my natty VM (no further testing was done).
