Hi, I have a Debian 2.0 box, which I would like to upgrade to 2.1. I have, some time ago, manually upgraded to libc6 v.2.1 because I wanted to use mutt1.0. Now if I follow instructions on:
http://www.nl.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html it tells me to get: apt_0.1.8_i386 Installing this conflicts with my version of libc6, so I got apt_0.3.10slink11 This did install allright. Now if I pursue with: apt-get -f -s dist-upgrade, I receive the following error information: E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6 E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6 E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6 E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6 E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6 E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6 E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6 Along with the output of the command which is: Reading Package Lists...

Or do I need to do something drastic and unload libc6 or something? Maybe even forget about the whole thing? I am a little scared... Any pointers much appreciated! -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
