I'm trying to install the latest Bind with Debian. That seems to end up 
depending on locales which depends on glibc-2.7-1 when I try to install 
glibc-2.7.1, that ends up advising me to install kernel 2.6. When I try 
to install that, I end up again with a dependency on locales which 
depends on glibc-2.7.1. I'm getting dizzy, anyone got a way out of this?

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   binutils: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1) but 2.3.6.ds1-13 is to be installed
   g++: Depends: cpp (>= 4:4.3.2-2) but 4:3.3.5-3 is to be installed
        Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.3.2-2) but 4:3.3.5-3 is to be installed
        Depends: g++-4.3 (>= 4.3.2-1) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: gcc-4.3 (>= 4.3.2-1) but it is not going to be installed
   libc6: Depends: tzdata but it is not going to be installed
   libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.7-18) but 2.3.6.ds1-13 is to be installed
   linux-image-2.6.26-2-686: Depends: initramfs-tools (>= 0.55) but it 
is not going to be installed or
                                      yaird (>= 0.0.13) but it is not 
installable or
                                      linux-initramfs-tool
   locales: Depends: glibc-2.7-1
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or 
specify a solution).

WARNING: POSIX threads library NPTL requires kernel version
2.6.8 or later. If you use a kernel 2.4, please upgrade it
before installing glibc.

The installation of a 2.6 kernel _could_ ask you to install a new libc
first, this is NOT a bug, and should *NOT* be reported. In that case,
please add etch sources to your /etc/apt/sources.list and run:
   apt-get install -t etch linux-image-2.6
Then reboot into this new kernel, and proceed with your upgrade
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18_i386.deb 
(--unpack):
  subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
  /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)



Then if I run that, it requires I select a kernel from a list and then 
we're back to the beginning again.
