I also did a clean install from the debian-staging/gnu-libio-20020422.tar.gz. Since I can't get my ne2000 to work I'm trying to get at least enough tools to compile gnumach, but I'm not there yet. I set up an offline apt configuration as described in doc/apt/offline.text.gz which works well. I directly mount the hurd partition under my woody system and apt works well. If anyone is interested in the details, let me know and I can post my config files. All this for a network driver for the hurd. My finger are very tired of manual ftp downloads (due to the db2 dependency making apt-get useless). Yet I've made alot of progress. The db2 dependency cascades into quite a few package problems for me. I also ran into a problem with libstdc++3-dev which depends on libc6-dev. How do I resolve this? Shouldn't this now be libc0.3? I also found that ssh 1:3.0.2pl1-8.3 during installation tries to open /dev/urandom but fails. MAKEDEV doesn't help.
