I have a SparcStation 10 that is running debian/stable on it. Everything has been working fine -- this systems main use is as a tape backup server and DHCP server for my LAN. As it stands, I tried to run apt-get dist-upgrade this morning for the first time in about 1 week.
When it ran, it errored out with the libc6 package, and when I try to run 'apt-get -f install' to fix it, I get the following error: blackhole:~# apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists...
