I've used the security updates for testing, which I've now commented out when I started getting these problems: #deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free But it seems that the version of libc6 installed is "2.2.5-9.woody.3" which provides glibc version 2.2.5-9. The locales package depends on exactly version 2.2.5-6 of glibc. I've got a woody server, this has libc6 2.2.5-11, I wonder why the testing one is an earlier version. Should I be using the security updates for testing, or are these no longer updated since woody became stable? thanks, Erik /--------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Erik Erskine | | Sundayta Ltd | \--------------------------------------------------------------------/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
