After unpacking 20.8MB will be freed. > Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] Why not upgrade to Etch where vim7.0 is standard. Etch also has a 2.6 kernel as standard as well though. Etch is going to be the next stable anyway. What does kold:~# apt-cache show vim | grep Version say? But as an interim try: kold:~# aptitude install libc6 then try again. Any other probs, post back here. p.s. Etch is current testing. Its not a good idea to mix dists in your /etc/apt/sources.lst -- Chris. ====== Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once etch goes stable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
