I just tried to upgrade my Corel installation via the net and have some strange behaviour when using apt:
feivel:~# dpkg -l libc6¸ Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ ii libc6 2.1.3-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone feivel:~# dpkg --print-avail libc6 Package: libc6 [...] Version: 2.1.3-10 [...] feivel:~# apt-get upgrade [...] Get:1 ftp://ftp.corel.com corellinux-1.2/corel_updates libc6 2.1.3-10 [1904kB] [...] Could anyone please explain this to me? Did Corel do anything to their files that makes apt think it has to upgrade although its up-to-date? Or is this a bug in apt? Michael -- Michael Meskes Michael@Fam-Meskes.De Go SF 49ers!
