Colin,
However, there is no glibc package, and in the packages search results
(http://packages.debian.org/testing/base/locales.html) the locales
package is shown to be dependent on libc6.
At the moment I'm having to force dpkg to install this, and also the JDK
from Blackdown, which depends on it.
My /etc/apt/sources.list contains these lines:
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib
non-free
Then you shouldn't be getting locales 2.2.5-6, which is stable's
version.
... he says, lying. It's also testing's version.
You should just be able to install libc6 2.2.5-6.
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updates for testing, or are these no longer updated since woody became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
