+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.

+glibc-solibs-linuxthreads: glibc-solibs-linuxthreads (LinuxThreads shared GNU C libraries)
+glibc-solibs-linuxthreads:
+glibc-solibs-linuxthreads: This package contains the shared libraries for glibc that uses
+glibc-solibs-linuxthreads: LinuxThreads, the threading implementation in Linux 2.4.x and
+glibc-solibs-linuxthreads: earlier kernels. In some cases you'll need to use these libraries
+glibc-solibs-linuxthreads: to run old binaries by setting these environment variables:
+glibc-solibs-linuxthreads: export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.33
+glibc-solibs-linuxthreads: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/obsolete/linuxthreads
+glibc-solibs-linuxthreads: old-program
+glibc-solibs-linuxthreads: Most users should have no need for this package. Recompile. :-)
