Re: 1.1 upg libc - long
Over the last few days, I have upgraded a (work) machine from 0.93r6 to 1.1 beta using Dale Scheetz's manual dpkg instructions. All went smoothly except for libc4.

Ian, will it not just not stop doing this but also recognize left over bogus entries and correct them? Carlos

It was fixed in the -15 version (and up ofcourse) and that is what should be on the FTP sites. If it is not, your mirror lags behind. What is also possible is that more than one version is present - dpkg tries to install them in the order it finds them, I think. Delete all but the newest versions of any .deb file you have.
