I have been going around in circles on this. I am trying to upgrade my kernel
from 2.2.20 to the current stable kernel 2.6.18. When I run aptitude I get a
glibc error because it needs at least a 2.4.1 kernel to install but the new
kernel won't install without the new glibc.
Here is what is happening. I am entering:
aptitude install linux-image-2.6.18-6-686
After the usual output I get this:
preparing to replace libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3 (using
.../libc6_2.3.6.ds1-13etch7i386.deb) ...
Then I get notices that I need to turn off daemons like xdm, kdm, xscreensaver
all of which are off or not installed. And then it asks:
Do you want to upgrade glibc now? [Y/n]
After I select Y I get this message:
WARNING: This version of glibc requires that you be running kernel version
2.4.1 or later. . .
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/lib6_2.3.6.ds1-13etch7_i386.deb
--unpack):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Then the whole thing bombs.
I have tried an aptitude dist-upgrade and that did not work. Same error
messages. I tried putting a hold on glibc but that didn't work either. Even
tried the -f parameter with aptitude with no success.
Anyone know a way around this so I can to get the kernel upgraded?
Thanks,
Brian
