outdated and buggy CVS snapshot of avr-libc

[Holger Steinhaus]

Binary package hint: avr-libc

The version of avr-libc included in Karmic (1.6.2.cvs20080610-2) is completely out of date. It seems to base on an CVS snapshot, that breaks the support for newer ATXMEGA devices. Any program including <avr/eeprom.h> ends up with the following compile error:

avr-gcc -g -Wall -Os -mmcu=atxmega128a1 -c -o main.o main.c
In file included from main.c:8:
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.3.3/../../../avr/include/avr/eeprom.h:139:4: error: #error "Unknown EEPROM register(s) location."
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.3.3/../../../avr/include/avr/eeprom.h:195:1: error: invalid suffix "x__EEPROM_REG_LOCATIONS__" on integer constant
In file included from main.c:8:

If I update to version 1.6.7 manually, this problem is resolved.

This bug is fixed in Lucid Lynx. Unfortunately we can't provide the backport of the fix for Karmic, sorry.
