Neither. If you remove libc5, you will break your system and have to reinstall completely. I repeat, DO NOT FORCE THE REMOVAL OF LIBC5 UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Either downgrade to the earlier version of libc5 I list at the end of the howto, or upgrade both libc5 and libc6 from hamm on the same dpkg command line. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
