Remember, libc.so.6 was introduced some umpteenth years ago when the world switched away from a.out to ELF. Since there is no replacement required for ELF at this time because the format is so extensible, it is unlikely that there will ever be a libc.so.7.
libc5 was already ELF, IIRC.
IIRC long ago ( back in the kernel 0.x days) linux-libc was forked from glibc. libc4 was the last aout version of linux-libc, libc5 the ELF version of linux-libc. With libc6 the fork was given up and linux uses original glibc again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
