AJ> Do you have a list of other packages from the glibc src that are AJ> upgraded before?
The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.26) but 2.25-6 is installed libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.26-4) but 2.25-6 is installed libc6-i386 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.26-4) but 2.25-6 is installed libc6-pic : Depends: libc6 (= 2.26-4) but 2.25-6 is installed libc6-x32 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.26-4) but 2.25-6 is installed locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.26) but 2.25-6 is installed nscd : Depends: libc6 (> 2.26) but 2.25-6 is installed And on another box: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.26) but 2.25-6 is installed libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.26-2) but 2.25-6 is installed libnih1 : Depends: libc6 (> 2.26) but 2.25-6 is installed locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.26) And a third: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.26) but 2.25-6 is installed libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.26-4) but 2.25-6 is installed locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.26) but 2.25-6 is installed Those are after one previous attempt at --fix-broken. AJ> In any case it's not something we can control, the abort is done AJ> inside the libc6 preinst, there is no way the libc6 package can AJ> do that earlier. Of course it is. Just make every deb from the glibc src do that abort. Idealy, w/ a warning on how to hold them so that the rest of the upgradable packages can do so. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6
