Hello guys -- I have a nice frozen system, and apt-get won't upgrade libc6 libc6-dev libnss1-compat locales for whatever reason.... so I thought I would show you what my apt-get is complaining about. Something seems wrong, and I don't know if it is me or the system...
I suppose I could install the locales, it doesn't seem to break anything, but it makes me a bit uncomfortable with everything else that won't be upgraded. If I can help out in any way, let me know. :) Thanks amidala:/home/sarnold# apt-get install libc6 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
