Package: libstdc++2.10-dev Version: 1:2.95.4-0.010424 I tried to do an apt-get dist-upgrade from stable to testing, and it failed. Apologies for the long upgrade log but I don't know what might be useful. The box was running stable+security patches. I have no idea if this is a libstdc++2.10-dev bug, a perl bug, a libc6 bug or a libdb2/libdb3 bug :-> Presumably one of these packages isn't setting its dependencies up correctly... I was able to fix this with "dpkg --configure -a; apt-get -f install"; the log of those commands is also here.
Hope this helps, Peter Maydell ===brief extract giving the error message=== Preparing to replace libstdc++2.10-dev 1:2.95.2-13 (using .../libstdc++2.10-dev_1%3a2.95.4-0.010424_i386.deb) ... perl: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by /lib/libdb.so.3) dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... perl: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by /lib/libdb.so.3) dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libstdc++2.10-dev_1%3a2.95.4-0.010424_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 ===endit=== ===complete apt-get dist-upgrade transcript=== [skip preconfiguration questions and download progress meter] (Reading database ... 29720 files and directories currently installed.)
