In a fresh etch debootstrap (with only locales package added to get rid of annoying LANG warnings..) I was unable to reproduce - simple install of djbdns-installer with both aptitude and apt-get indicate that libc6-dev will be installed.
libc6-dev is a Recommends: in gcc package (this is where your Recommend came from). libc6-dev is a Depends: in build-essential package. daemontools-installer includes a Depends: on build-essential (this is where my Depend came from), so it seems as if you may already have the daemontools binary package installed? Since daemontools-installer depends on build-essential, it may be appropriate to go ahead and add 'Depends: build-essential' to djbdns-installer dependencies - this would have pulled in the needed packages in Meder's case. -- Kind Regards, Michael Shuler ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# aptitude install djbdns-installer Reading package lists...
