Which package contains libc.so.6?

[stychokiller]

The title pretty much sez it all -- I need GLIBC_2.11 installed (current rev is 2.10)
for a newer version of DialogBlocks (v4.39) which is kinda like codeBlocks, only
it's a commercial program. Does anyone know if GLIBC_2.11 is available for Kubuntu?

Good question.

Seems not to be in any Debian repos including experimental; however, there's a doc package in sid.

Checking Kubuntu 11.04, updated as of now:

You can use apt-file to find it.

sudo apt-get install apt-file
sudo apt-file update

Here's the output in maverick:

ubuntuku@satellite:~$ apt-file find libc.so.6

libc6-amd64: /lib64/libc.so.6
