Hi! After a period of inactivity I needed to update my pure64 installation. Looking through the (massive) backlog of messages it turns out that the organisation had changed, so I modified my apt sources.list to point to
deb http://bach.hpc2n.umu.se/debian-pure64 sid main contrib non-free deb-src http://bach.hpc2n.umu.se/debian-pure64 sid main contrib non-free as per instructions. Now for the upgrade: --------- > apt-get -fu dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Calculating Upgrade...

[Y/n] n --------- Now, this is all rather unwelcome news to me as I'm dependant on having apache2 running. In the listing above it seems that libc6 is part of the upgrade, so I figured that perhaps I'd better go for that and apache2 to see what happens. This is what I get: ----------- > apt-get install apache2 libc6 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: apache2-common apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php4 libapr0 libc6-dev locales php4-common Suggested packages: php4-pear The following packages will be REMOVED: aide base-files bash deborphan hotplug mailx The following packages will be upgraded: apache2 apache2-common apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php4 libapr0 libc6 libc6-dev locales php4-common WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing! base-files bash 10 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 144 not upgraded. Need to get 15.9MB of archives. After unpacking 4461kB disk space will be freed. You are about to do something potentially harmful To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!' > NO! ---------- The question is, what's causing this and how do I fix it? Will I need to install everything from scratch again, or what's going on? I'd very much appreciate any kind of advice.
