I read that and I was wondering what exactly the conflicts are.
It
mentions 'locales' and the 'format of utmp/wtmp'. What kinds of
problems are caused by these conflicts?
VAResearch had me upgrade to libc6 and override the conflict
so that I could add another package I needed. After two days,
I haven't noticed any problems (other than I now have both
libc5 and libc6 in memory, I presume, when I am running X.)
I have grabbed the libc5_5.4.33-3.deb package that the
FAQ suggests as an alternative, but I haven't installed
it yet. Is there anything I should look for?
Thanks,
