It seems to be bug #421581 which is fixed in Sid. You could try to install the Sid version of gtk-qt-engine or wait until it comes to Lenny. You can probably also temporarily uninstall gtk-qt-engine if you want to upgrade libc6 now without putting Sid packages on your system. (Using dpkg with --force-overwrite should also allow you to install the new version of libc6, but I would avoid resorting to --force-* unless absolutely necessary.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
