You only do it once, of course. > I also have a >package which depends on xlib6g, which I hesitate to install in case it >breaks the other packages that I need.

I just checked with the mirror that I use (unix.hensa.ac.uk). There is an xlib6 in oldlibs (version 3.3.1-2), and I suppose you will need it if you are running any X programs that are linked to libc5. xlib6g conflicts with xlib6 < 3.3-5, so you will have to upgrade xlib6 if it's a lower version than that. > >> >> Look at: >> http://www.debian.org/doc/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.ht >ml >> >> and >> >> http://www.debian.org/devel/autoup.sh -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
