Hi all yesterday I tried to install gnut (testing) on my potato server. Now I believe that was a mistake...
apt-get wanted to install a couple of replacement libraries libc6, perl, I have no transcript :( . I said "Go for it" and apt-get got hung up. --schnipp-- eckehaat:~# apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists... 0%Reading Package Lists... 100%Reading Package Lists...

[Y/n] y perl: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by /lib/libdb.so.3) E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt returned an error code (1) E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt --schnapp-- I think the main problem is here (third to last line): perl: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by /lib/libdb.so.3) In fact, I get the same message when just issuing the command "perl" itself. Perl is not running any more, which also means, for example, that my syslogd has a problem, as I noticed this morning. --schnipp-- eckehaat:~# dpkg --audit The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
