Hi
I'm not sure whether this bug is still relevant

Unfortunately, that's not enough to understand the dependency issue you
had back then

Could you be more specific about libc6 lenny2 being the problem? (I'm
not sure which Marco you mean nor how this relates)

I just created a lenny-armel chroot and I could apt-get install
build-essential xfce-desktop^ there:
# apt-get install build-essential xfce-desktop^
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
portmap
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
a2ps adduser aspell aspell-en avahi-daemon bind9-host binutils bzip2
ca-certificates console-common console-data cpio cpp cpp-4.3 cups-client
cups-common dbus dbus-x11 defoma desktop-base desktop-file-utils
[...]

xulrunner-1.9 zenity

After this operation, 893MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
This doesn't look like a bug in build-essential at all; maybe you had
temporary issues with package dependencies. Usually I either try to
understand the problem thanks to aptitude's package browser, but
another relatively effective way to pin-point the problem is to apt-get
install the packages which you care about until apt tells you about the
conflict, e.g.:
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install build-essential libc6
apt-get install build-essential libc6 xfce-desktop^
etc.
I think this bug can be closed?
Thanks,
