I upgraded to libc6_2.2 some days ago, and I never had (and have!) any problemes. Greetings Erich

Actually, modutils 2.4.0 doesn't even exist (as far as I could find out, I could be mistaken) ! I'm just trying out the one from testing... seems more then ok.
Re: kernel 2.4, modutils requires libc6 2.1.97
I would like to hear some more details from the maintainer(s)... I've needed to install 'locales' and 'i18n' during this process. I have several machines which are in this state, and I've broken the equivelent number, trying this. I just waiting for woody to become 'stable'.

kernel 2.4, modutils requires libc6 2.1.97
All suggestions for using kernel 2.4 mention upgrading to modutils in either woody or sid, for modutils version 2.3.22 or 2.3.23. However, these have the dependency Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.97) Since I largely keep a potato distribution, I use libc6 version libc6_2.1.3-13 so an upgrade would require upgrading to a woody libc6 version. This flashes a WARNING to me, since libc is very foundational; indeed, a few Debian distributions back, most distribution upgrades failed because of libc changes. Does an upgrade of libc6 from version 2.1.3 to 2.1.97 largely work? But more, I no longer see libc6 version 2.1.97, so I must go all the way to libc6 version libc6_2.2-5 in woody. Oh my, I have heard people having problems with libc6 version 2.2: are there problems upgrading to libc6_2.2? Perhaps my best solution would compile modutils version myself. Besides, I now notice that the kernel source linux-2.4.0.tar.bz2 document .../Documentation/Changes has upped the modutils version requirement from 2.3.15 (in linux-2.4.0-test8) to modutils version 2.4.0 (in linux-2.4.0) which appears nowhere, not even in the .../pool/* directories. -- Jameson C.
