Which version of libc? I mirror directly off of ftp.debian.org and with the version there I still have the same problem. After just a couple of invocations of "apt-get upgrade" I now get: % apt-get upgrade Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet dependencies: libc6: Conflicts:dpkg E: Internal Error, AllUpgrade broke stuff How do I fix this? Installed versions: dpkg: 1.4.0.23.2 libc6: 2.0.7u-7 When I try to install the new version of dpkg I get: % dpkg -i dpkg_1.4.0.31.deb dpkg: regarding dpkg_1.4.0.31.deb containing dpkg: libc6 conflicts with dpkg (= 1.4.0.31) dpkg (version 1.4.0.31) is to be installed. dpkg: error processing dpkg_1.4.0.31.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing dpkg Errors were encountered while processing: dpkg_1.4.0.31.deb So, I'm stuck! Any help is greatly appreciated!! Gary
