I am having trouble with the libfaac0 package, and have been hoping to upgrade it the hope that a bug fix has been released for my problem. The libfaac0 package requires libc6 >= 2.7-1 but etch only has 2.3.6.ds1-13etch8, so I've added a testing distribution to my sources list.
However, after running apt-get update, I checked what would be installed if I installed either libc6 or libfaac0, and in both cases it stated that it was going to remove important packages. I'm not sure how to proceed: <<< asystems:/etc/apt# apt-get -u -t testing install libfaac0 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...
