I had tried it as libc6-i386 earlier and got the same results. With that attempt, my /var/lib/dpkg/status contains: Package: libc6-i386 Version: 2.3.6 Section: libs Priority: required Architecture: i386 Provides: glibc-2.3.6 Maintainer: Dallas Clement <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Description: The GNU C library The GNU C library is the standard C/C++ library \ needed to support most Linux applications. Status: install ok installed -------------------- The dpkg error when I try to install a package that depends on it is as follows: dpkg: package e2fsprogs depends on libc6-i386, which is not installed or flagged to be installed -------------------- I'm using the dpkg version 1.13.25 to build the packages on my Debian Etch 4.0 system and I'm using the busybox 1.6.1 'dpkg' on my target system to install the packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
