Well, this is very pretty. I'm running Debian 2.0 with the default SANE--the doc says v0.71 but I think it's v0.74. I was going to upgrade to version 1.0. To do that, I have to install the new libc6, and to do that I have to upgrade libstdc++2.8, and apparently to do THAT, dpkg has to unconfigure itself. Since I'm running dselect, how is this supposed to work? Here is the output from dselect:
dpkg: considering removing libstdc++2.8 in favour of libc6 ... dpkg: no, dpkg is essential, will not deconfigure it in order to enable removal of libstdc++2.8. dpkg: regarding .../base/libc6_2.0.7u-7.1.deb containing libc6: libc6 conflicts with libstdc++2.8 (<< 2.90.29-2) libstdc++2.8 (version 2.90.29-0.6) is installed. dpkg: error processing debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/base/libc6_2.0.7u: conflicting packages - not installing libc6 Thanks, Ted
