Apologies if people have seen this before. I initially sent it via the news gateway at our site as I was having trouble getting subscribed, but I'm not convinced that the gateway is making it to the full mailing list (other messages I've sent that way are not in the archives). Now that I've got myself subscribed, I'm resending just in case it hasn't appeared - I really need some help!

In order to run dhcpcd on 2.2.14, I need the version from unstable (frozen, I guess). But that depends on the unstable version of libc6, which depends on the unstable version of debianutils, which depends on the unstable version of libc6.... If I force an install of debianutils, the libc6 install fails on the preinit script, with no indication of why. Something is wrong here. How do I upgrade a clean slink system to use the frozen/unstable version of libc6? Please, no-one say "apt-get upgrade" - the WHOLE POINT is that I don't have a net connection!!! Tell me what .debs to download, how to dpkg -i them in, and I'll be happy. But don't suggest an upgrade - if I could have run potato, I'd never have started with slink. Thanks for any help - I'm getting VERY frustrated here! Paul.
