It seems that during a preseeded installation today my squeeze VM installed a proposed update when it shouldn't have:
> root@test:/usr/share/doc# dpkg -l |grep 2.11.3-3 > ii libc-bin 2.11.3-3 Embedded > GNU C Library: Binaries > ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded > GNU C Library: Shared libraries > ii locales 2.11.3-3 Embedded > GNU C Library: National Language (locale) data [support] > ii nscd 2.11.3-3 Embedded > GNU C Library: Name Service Cache Daemon This breaks dependencies: > root@test:/# apt-get install build-essential > The following packages have unmet dependencies: > build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or > libc-dev > Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be > installed > E: Broken packages > following the chain down… > root@test:/etc# apt-get install libc6-i386 > ... > libc6-i386 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.11.3-2) but 2.11.3-3 is to be installed Now this is odd because squeeze (stable) is only supposed to be installing 2.11.3-2: http://packages.debian.org/source/squeeze/eglibc 2.11.3-3 is available in proposed updates: http://qa.debian.org/madison.php?package=eglibc And is downloadable: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/eglibc/ And of course, my sources.list is a squeeze-only list and does not contain proposed updates. I think this is supported because "apt-cache showpkg libc6" shows the new version (already installed) and the old version in the repository. So I think the netboot installer somehow incorrectly installed the proposed-update. Or maybe a repository temporarily contained the new version when it shouldn't have. Or maybe the new version is being rolled out right now but all the mirrors haven't been updated yet. Or maybe I'm messed something up. This doesn't effect me too terribly right now, I just wanted to post this in case someone else was having a similar problem. -Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
