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).
Hey Paul, I don't mean to be dificult, persist or make any points. Even know I am not much of a guru I been using Debian for years. .For you this might be all easy but users like me don't know all that you do and they shouldn't have to, right? When I installed dbmail2-mysql I did that without any help from here and it was very easy to do. What I am doing now is not a simple install not even an upgrade it is a reinstall. When I do: apt-get -t unstable install dbmail Then there are dependencies to meet for dbmail and in a chain one ends up to be libc6 version from testing. That's what I upgraded to testing. Are you saying I didn't have to do that? How? I'll be glad to go back to the stable version if you tell me how that is possible. Thank you Demi
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. ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
