It looks like you are trying to install the testing version of
locales. Since you have a woody installation, check your
/etc/apt/sources.list to make sure it includes woody or stable
sources, and /etc/apt/preferences to make sure woody is your target
release.
You could try "apt-get -t stable install locales" to make sure you
are trying to install the woody version.
OK, I tried this suggestion (thanks), except that I don't have an
/etc/apt/preferences file at all--I assume that in this case the
command-line flag determines the distribution to be installed; I got
essentially the same results as before.
> ...but if I try to install glibc-2.2.5, I get:
glibc-2.2.5-xxx are virtual packages that install libc6-2.2.5-xxx.
But then why does apt-get say that it is missing, when it knows that
libc6-2.2.5 is already installed? It makes no sense.
Again, many thanks.
