As This is a odd interaction between libc6 and APT's sequencing code, there is a bug against libc6 to get the issue fixed so that potato to woody upgrades work again.. In the mean time there are a couple options.. Probably the simplest is to do 'apt-get -s install libc6' then take all the packages listed as 'Inst' and install them by hand using dpkg with a single command. Or you could try the experimental 0.4.1 APT from http://klecker.debian.org/~jgg/apt Or just wait for a new libc.. Jason
