Yes, I didn't think about that at the first place, 'aptitude remove' is
so simple.

Well that did the trick. I first commented out the Pre-Install-Pkgs
line, then

aptitude install -t testing libhttp-access2-ruby1.8 libruby1.8

which installed fine, then uncommented the line in 10apt-listbugs and
ran again

apt-listbugs -d list libc6

and it worked perfectly (even if the output is kinda scary right now ;-))

Well in fact you did help me and I'm very thankful for that.

I guess you can now close the bug can't you?

Best regards,
Steve
