You upgraded a lot of packages, though.
Agreed, it is quite a few packages.
Everything that does authentication needs to be restarted after the glibc upgrade, correct?I think "yes". So we're warning with libc6 upgrade in postinst. Moreover, upgrading libc6 from 2.2 to 2.3 (or upgrade everytime, ideally) should need system restart. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix it.
There probably is a way to fix it, or at least I hope there is! Otherwise, upgrading from woody to sarge is going to be a real mess.
Do you know of a place with a good description of what exactly is happening? My attempts to search the debian-glibc archives couldn't find it...
