The problem is that ldconfig (and probably other important stuff) is missing on your system; dpkg wants to call ldconfig before it installs the libc6 package, therefore it is jammed. The next thing you can try is to split the installation into two steps: dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18_i386.deb dpkg --configure libc6 That might work if "--unpack" does not require dpkg to run ldconfig; I do not know the internals of dpkg well enough to judge the chances of success. If the above does not work then you may have to resort to manually extracting the files contained in libc6_2.7-18_i386.deb: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch02.en.html#_extracting_package_without_dpkg Alternatively you could try to fool dpkg by copying /bin/true to /sbin and then rename the copy to "ldconfig". Again I would not dare to predict the chances of success of this rather dirty trick. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
