This is kinda the problem. :) Steve Lamb also suggested the same thing, but this *is* the slink libc6: gusgus:/var/tmp ] lftp ftp.debian.org lftp ftp.debian.org:~> cd debian/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/base cd ok, cwd=/debian/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/base lftp ftp.debian.org:/debian/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/base> ls -l libc6_* -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 612652 Jan 9 23:46 libc6_2.0.7-19981211-1.deb Which I was working on this last night, I did think "hey, 2.0.7u-1 > 2.0.7-19981211-1", but dpkg did let me install apt with libc6_2.0.7-19981211-1 installed on the system, so I didn't worry about it too much. Mark Wagnon posted a URL for libc6_2.0.7v-1 off of ftp.cdrom.com's mirror, but that file isn't there this morning. http://www.debian.org/Packages/frozen/base/libc6.html points to six different mirrors, none of which have the file. I looked in ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/incoming, but there was no libc6 there. Ivan Moore suggested that I do an 'apt-get -f install' and letting apt work everything out, but apt's solution to this is to uninstall itself: gusgus:~ # apt-get -f install Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...dependency error Correcting dependencies...ok The following packages will be REMOVED: apt 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 278 not upgraded. Need to get 0b of archives. After unpacking 1068k will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Any idea where the new libc6 is living? Thanks for all the responses so far.
