Hello everybody, First of all - Paul, thanks for the pointers and the link - I'll try and pay attention on the correct subject and questioning.
Now... I must say I really don't understand why the W3C Amaya didn't compile - I found the libglib1.2 WAS installed and yet it couldn't find it's way to :-S (which is wby I changed the subject to the specific "how to downgrade") Now... I've got a fast internet connection so if it's really needed to downgrade a lot... ok then; But my question isn't really answered yet: How do I do this ? apt-get just refuses to do this ? Do I have to use the apt-get -f install way ? How do I get the system complete even though the program executes that ? Thanks in advance, Joris Huizer --- Paul Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Please learn how to ask good questions, especially > with the subject > line... > > Good: libc6: How to downgrade? > Better: libglib1.2: How to install? > > The second one is better because it states the goal > without assuming a > specific course of action. > > Bad: Anything with "urgent," "help me," or words to > similar effect. > Likely, you expect these words to cause people to go > "Oh, I think this > guy needs help more than other folks" and > reprioritize thier email > reading around you.
