This might require a few other packages to be downgrade at the same time. This should do it think: apt-get install libc6=2.3.2.ds1-20 locales=2.3.2.ds1-20 base-files=3.1.2 I don't know if the above would have fixed the problem because meanwhile I tried a re-installation from another cdrom. It seems that the sid-amd64-netinst.iso of 11/2/2005 (from the date on the files) is the culprit Several bootssraps from that image resulted in the depency problem. I have now installed from a recent sarge-amd64-netinst.iso and everything was fine (modulo some unconnected problems of scsi disc enumeration and pata discs being disabled). So if anyone has the same problem in future and finds this message in the archives, try a different installation image. Sorry if this should have branched off into a new thread... Thank you to everyone who helped: it saved time by eliminating many possibilities. Adrian Lawrence -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

On my system (and on my 32-bit system) libc6-dev (2.3.2.ds1-20) depends upon libc6 (2.3.2.ds1-20). I suspect that you may have downloaded some corrupted information earlier. This is from another post today about apt file corruption: > Just a quick update on my problem.

I did check the debs in the pools on various mirrors and those packages seemed to be quite old with no recent changes. But I will be patient...

Have patience. If your problem persists more than a day or two, however, sound off and someone will look into it. If you'll look back through the archives you'll see that these things happen from time to time but always are resolved quickly. :-) cmr -- Debian 'Sarge': Registered Linux User #241964 "More laws, less justice." -- Marcus Tullius Ciceroca, 42 BC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
