Demi, (Why do you persist in having a unstable line for debian?? Don't use libc from unstable unless you *really must* if you value your time at all. Though things have gone smoothly most of the time over the last couple of years, you really don't want to be the one to find out that that freshly minted libc package just uploaded happens to be seriously broken). Before moving on; In /boot/ copy your kernel to something like vmlinuz-works and run update-grub, before you accidently remove your only kernel from the system. I never use standard kernels on servers for security reasons, only custom build non-modular kernels). But Marc's advise is sound. Re-append packages apt-get wants to remove to your 'apt-get install' line until you get a upgrade path you like. > > Neither one of them like the initrd-tools I have installed.
