dist-upgrade not working...

[Eric Bass]

I don't know if I screwed something up or what, but the apt-get dist-upgrade
isn't working.

I believe I'm currently on 2.0 (still shows 2.0 on the login screen) Is
there a better way of
Checking your current dist?  Wanting to upgrade to slink, or possible
potatoe...
Run apt-get update, then apt-get -f dist-upgrade and I get:

Updating package status cache...done
Checking system integrity...ok
The following packages have been kept back
  slay gzip at man-db libpng2 tetex-base manpages mh xlib6 metamail
doc-debian

snip snip

  bc ae less libjpegg6a iamerican dc perl pine396-diffs ed time tcsh
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 142 not upgraded.

What is going on??

 Is gnulibc2.1 available as a debian package somewhere?  If so, then where?
 The [EMAIL PROTECTED] client requires it now.  Any help would be appreciated.

Get the libc6 package(s) in unstable.

Well, now I see glibc1 versions.  I'm using i386-pc-linux-gnulibc1 now.
The i686 version is still only in gnulibc2.1, though.  What's so special
About 2.1 that they're so suck on itesp if it's not very stable.

Thanks, I'll check TkSETI out, I'm running setiview currently.

Have they said that they aren't putting out a glibc2 version like they did
for all the betas? I sent this question to them just this morning.

BTW, you might be interested in TkSETI:
