Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-21 Severity: normal The bug report refers to the packet libc6. When installing newer version of libc6 the apt system tries to uninstall all kernels. See the following example: # apt-get install libc6 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libc6-dev locales Suggested packages: glibc-doc manpages-dev The following packages will be REMOVED: initrd-tools kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 kernel-image-2.6.10-1-k7 kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7 The following packages will be upgraded: libc6 libc6-dev locales 3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 827 not upgraded. Need to get 11.7MB of archives. After unpacking 119MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort.
As you can see from the example the install tries to uninstall initrd-tools and all installed kernels. This makes that I cannot upgrade some other packages that depend on a newer version of libc6. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libdb1-compat 2.1.3-7 The Berkeley database routines [gl libc6 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
