Dpkg also refuses to install new libc-bin without previous unpacking of new libc6: -8<- $ dpkg -l | grep libc6 ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries $ sudo dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/libc-bin_2.10.2-2_i386.deb dpkg: regarding .../libc-bin_2.10.2-2_i386.deb containing libc-bin: libc-bin breaks libc6 (<< 2.10) libc6 (version 2.7-10) is present and installed. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc-bin_2.10.2-2_i386.deb (--unpack): installing libc-bin would break libc6, and deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc-bin_2.10.2-2_i386.deb ->8- So, what's the correct order then? -- Eugene V.
