Hi Martin,
Fantastic!!! You have pointed me to a bug of mine! In fact, I had tried to
compile and link a complex code for which I also need CERNLIB.
Strangely enough, it required some header files and in particular the
"features.h" header and naively I just copied them over from LINUX and
my code is happy with it.
Unfortunately, apt is NOT happy it finds __GLIBC_MINOR__ in features.h
thinks GLIBC is installed which is actually isn't! All falls apart from
there.
This also explains why I could not find libc6.5 since it does not exist.
I did
this trick on both machines and therefore it failed on both!
I have simply renamed this file and all is just beautiful!
My sincere apologies for this bug of mine. But now I am back in FINK
warranty
with all installed from within FINK.
Many, many Thanks to all your relentless help!
Cheers, Frank Schmidt

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
