libc6 has its own locales package, so there aren't any problems caused by conflicting with the libc5 version of same. The utmp/wtmp problem is a little trickier, though: it causes libc5 programs that directly write to the wtmp file to break the 'last' command, and using incompatible versions of libc.so.5 with glibc can also break the utmp file and the 'who' commands and friends. Using the libc5 package in hamm gets around at least this last problem. -- _____________________________ / \ "The cat's been in the box for over | David Maze | 20 years. Nobody's feeding it.
