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?

[Y/n] [snip] 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. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
