Turns out that kprofile.dll is needed by libcXXX.prf (profiling build) and klibdbg.dll is needed by libcXXX.elh (have no idea what it is).
And libc-kprofile is a virtual package with no actual files (it would just contain Provides statements for the mentioned DLLs w/o providing the real DLLs) that was made only to satisfy the above dependencies. But this doesn't make any sense since the libcXXX.prf and libcXXX.elh DLLs can't be used w/o the real kprofile and klibdbg DLLs. Given that practical usage of PRF and ELH versions is not very clear ATM, I simply removed them from the new libc RPM build (0.6.6-29). Please check the updated package in an hour or so.
We might want to find real kprofile.dll and klibdbg.dll and bring ELH and PRF back (probably in a separate libc package, like libc-profile) but that's for later.
I confirm this. The reason is that the kprofile.dll and klibdbg.dll are not part of the
libcpackages since long, the last package version that provides it is libc 0.6.3. (libc-kprofile, to be exact). But all older packages of libc were recently removed from the repositories hence the above error. This needs to be fixed by providing a new libc-kprofile package containing these DLLs.
