hello glibc mainainers, I screwed up badly with aptitude and wiped a good portion of my Sid system (on powerpc), including libc6. Now trying to reinstall, and having a terrible time with a conflict btwn libc6 and initscripts. Here's the output of aptitude (on the command line):
[00:03:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-get install glibc-2.3.2.ds1-11 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

My system is currently crippled and this problem blocks installation of everything else! thanks for your help, matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
