Hello Calber Chainy, Unfortunately the command "apt-get -t unstable libc6" didn't do the job for me. I added the file /etc/apt/apt.conf you decribed (I didn't have it there so I created it) but it didn't do the trick.
However, you're message made me think my understanding of the apt-get program was not complete - so I had a close look at the manual and found the following - you can do this: (on apt-get v. 0.5.4) apt-get install libc6/stable which searches for a stable program of libc6. After doing this, I get another error: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libgtk1.2: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5-13) but 2.2.5-11.2 is to be installed Doing the same trick "apt-get install libgtk1.2/stable" returns to the first status Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6: Depends: libdb1-compat but it is not installable libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.2) but 2.3.1-10 is to be installed locales: Depends: glibc-2.2.5-11.2 Do you know how to solve this ? Thanks for the input so far, Joris --- Calber Chainy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't know if this works for you or not, but it > did for me. > > I have both stable and unstable lines in > sources.list, also in /etc/apt > I have a file called apt.conf with this only line: > > APT::Default-Release "stable"; > > Using apt-get -t unstable libc6 > > I installed libc6 from unstable, but only that > package. > > Had no problems since then. > > Chainy. > __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
