Uninstall libgcc1 and libc6-sparc64 including the packages you do want,
then reinstall them.

Won't let me do it.  Says libgcc1 depends on it.  I throw libgcc1 into
the list, and it says I have packages that depend on libgcc1, packages
that I actually want.  So libc6-sparc64 won't install or remove.  Hmmm.

This is on a sun4u US-IIi system.

I had to use:

apt-get --purge remove libc6-sparc64 libgcc1 libc6-dev-sparc64
gcc-3.0 libstdc++3

I had already come this far before asking the question, but stopped
adding more debs to apt-get (-s) when I hit libstdc++3. 

I have compiled a kernel and libssl. I should still be able to do
this with before mentioned debs removed from my system?

That should remove anything pertaining to sparc64. I wouldn't worry
about libstdc++3, since you actually use libstdc++2.10 anyway.

libc6 (+sparc64) deb hell

2002-09-30 Thread Robert Ian Smit 
Sorry for starting a new thread. For me it's safer than adding
headers found in the archive.

Anyway, Ben Collins suggested:

"you should uninstall libc6-sparc64, gcc-3.0-sparc64 and anything
else having to do with sparc64."

I am not able to remove those debs in a nice way. I don't like to
start forcing things with system libs, especially when I don't
really understand what I am doing. 

So a few pointers to how to overcome these problems, would be very
much appreciated.

I don't need any of the sparc64 stuff (as far as I'm concerned), but
gcc, libstdc++3 and friends have a different opinion about that.

Ben also mentioned a transition from /lib/64 to /lib64. I am
blissfully unaware of what that means. Did this transition take
place in stable? Is there anything I should actively do (i.e. not
apt-get upgrade) to go though the transition?
