I upgraded so I could test out the release as well as pick up all the fixes that were in the newer release. A 2.3.5 release will have even more fixes and I am hopeful to see that release packaged as soon as possible. > Hm... It also looks like libc6-i686 depends on libc6 which seems a bit > odd. Wondering if this is the problem I'm having.... One of the libc6 maintainers would be able to answer that. I didn't bother with the i686 package due to the machine being a i586-based box. I have to believe that people with newer machines have successfully installed and run the snapshot, though.
