Does this mean that potato will be released with the glibc2.0 version? I assume that the glibc2.0 version of libstdc++ will eventually be dropped, and we'll have to deal with the upgrade issues. I am ignorant of exactly what the abortive upgrade issues are, so forgive me if I say something non-sensical. > > I can't recompile to fix for the current version of apt without a > > pre-glibc2.1 machine.

I can't install the glibc2.0 version of libstdc++2.9-dev because of this dependency chain: libstdc++2.9-dev depends on libc-dev libc-dev conflicts with libstdc++2.9-dev D'oh! -Mitch
