libdb1-compat is depended on by testing/unstable's libc6. I suspect it's merely unstable's snort. > > If I do "dpkg -s libc6|grep Version" I get: > > Version: 2.2.5-15 > > Config-Version: 2.2.5-11.2 > > That is the woody/stable version that we would expect to see. The Config-Version might be, but the Version is that of unstable's libc6. It looks like a little bit of unstable has been pulled in by accident. Fortunately, since it hasn't been configured successfully (Version != Config-Version), it should be reasonably easy to downgrade.
