[Bug 1661757] Re: libc6 Depends line for xenial i386 package appears to be incorrect.

[Rodney Lott]

Oops! I just realized my mistake in comprehension. There is nothing to
suggest that i386 and amd64 can't be linked against different versions
of libc6, given that each arch may have different revision histories.
Sorry about that: tired Friday work brain strikes again! :-(

Title:
  libc6 Depends line for xenial i386 package appears to be incorrect.

Status in ncurses package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Upon inspecting the i386 and amd64 packages of libncurses5/xenial,
  there appears to be an error in the libc6 dependency for the i386
  case:

  $ dpkg -I libncurses5_6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb | grep Depends
   Depends: libtinfo5 (= 6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1), libc6 (>= 2.14)
  $ dpkg -I libncurses5_6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1_i386.deb | grep Depends
   Depends: libtinfo5 (= 6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1), libc6 (>= 2.4)

  As you can see, the amd64 version indicates a libc6 version of 2.14 or
  greater, but the i386 version says 2.4 or greater. It would appear
  that this is a typo, since it should match the amd64 case and that
  there is no libc6 version in Ubuntu with that version number. Ubuntu
  Zesty has a libc6 version of 2.24-7ubuntu2.
