Hi, I went to check for updates using Synaptic just now and found that I have two broken packages (libc6-dev and locales). According to synaptic, the solution for this seems to be to upgrade libc6. However, when I do "apt-get upgrade libc6" I get a complaint containing the following:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-22) but 2.3.2.ds1-21 is installed locales: Depends: glibc-2.3.2.ds1-22 It then suggests that I run "apt-get upgrade -f libc6". This produces the following bunch of text: =============================================================== Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Correcting dependencies...

Can anyone suggest how I might get around this problem?
