[Mesa-users] Installation problem

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Rich,

I just looked at the manifest for Ubuntu 20.04 and it looks like `libc6-dev` is no longer included as a default package.  I did a sort of bisection search through the manifests and it appears that it was dropped as a default package between 17.04 and 17.10.  Unless we're sure it should be downloaded as a dependency of one of the other MESA SDK prerequisites, I think `libc6-dev` needs to be added to the list of prerequisites for Ubuntu.

I can confirm by trying a fresh install on an Ubuntu VM, if you think it's worth it.

Cheers,
Warrick
