Ah - with the old libc6, you needed the ldso package. In testing/unstable that's only needed for libc4/libc5 compatibility. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[solved]Re: dependency problem with dpk
Thanks! I figured it out. When I was downgrading my libc6 it somehow removed the 'ldconfig' file /sbin - so I just copied it from another machine with a similar setup and I could (or better apt-get could) finish the downgrade of my libc6 and from there everything worked fine. I know I did something stupid and I won't do it again :) Thanks again! Colin Watson wrote: Philipp Bliedung [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I installed the new libc6 version (2.2.1-1) on my potato box.

dependency problem with dpk
Hey I don't know how to fix this: I installed the new libc6 version (2.2.1-1) on my potato box. So far everything went fine, but when I tried to add other packages using dpkg I get this: Reading Packae Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree ... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (=2.1.3-10) but 2.2.1-1 is installed locales: Depends: libc6 (=2.1.3-10) but 2.2.1-1 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f But when I use 'apt-get -f install' I get this: #apt-get -f install Reading Package List Done Building Dependency Tree ... Done Correcting dependencies ... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: atlas2-dev blas-dev blt-dev g++ lam2-dev libc6-dev libgc5-dev libgimp1.1.17-dev libgtk1.2-dbg lingtk1.2-dev libncurses5-dev libstdc++2.10-dev locales task-parallel-computing-dev task-tcltk-dev task-x-window-system tcl8.2-dev tk8.2-dev tktable-dev xlib6g-dev 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 20 to remove and 0 not upgraded. yada... yada... yada... Abort. I also downloaded the libc6-dev package which it says it depends on but when I install this it, it again depends on g++, etc... Would it be possible to add the testing directories to my sources.list and get all the packages with apt-get from the Debian server? Would 'apt-get upgrade' work then? I don't want to upgrade to testing completely (!!) but I want the blic6 package work ! What can I do? When I downgraded to the 'old' version of libc6 (2.1.3-10) dpkg broke and I couldn't do anything b/c no libc6 package was correctly installed and I don't want to mess up b/c I'm not so comfortable with dpkg and apt-get! That's why I'm still using potato :) TIA !!! Philipp
