Thanks for the advice....
I tried the apt-get -f install libc6, but I was still getting errors. In the end, I downloaded it from packages.debian.org and ftp'd it down to the machine and then performed a dpkg -i libc6<rest of package name> This seems to have worked a treat and all is working again :) -- Stuart Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 27/09/2001 12:56:00 To: debian-user@lists.debian.org cc: (bcc: Stuart Luscombe/COSS/CCenter) Subject: Re: HELP!!!! my boxen is broken On Thu, Sep 27, 2001 at 11:25:08AM +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Help all!

Never use 'apt-get upgrade' across different versions of the distribution: it won't make the right decisions. Use 'apt-get dist-upgrade' instead, or just use dselect. > According to dselect, the version to be installed is 2.2.4-2, but as > it says, 2.1.3-18 is already installed. > > I assume that maybe if I removed 2.1.3-18, then this may solve my > problem, but I thought I would ask someone first.... Don't remove libc6! Upgrading it individually with 'apt-get install libc6' may help. > also, when I try to run something like man, I get the following message: > > man: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by /lib/libdb.so.3) > > is this all part and parcel of the same thing??? That's slightly different; you need to upgrade libdb2. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
