try doing what apt suggests. run "apt-get -f install".
if that fails, then read on:
it looks like your system is only partially upgraded from libc5 to libc6.
try removing libg++27-dev and libgdbm1-dev with "dpkg -r". then you should
be able to install wget, either install it with dpkg or with apt ("apt-get
install wget").
if that works, you should now be able to do a dselect upgrade.

Thanks, it's working now -- "dpkg -r wget" did nothing, but after checking the prerm and postrm scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info I just nuked them completely, since the actual package was not on the system. This worked just fine, and then I was able to upgrade to 2.0 in minutes using the apt-get method. Now to just solve that "patch manager" problem...

HELP! Seriously messed up bo -> hamm
Please help -- I really messed up my 1.3 system today trying to upgrade to 2.0 using the 2-cd set from LSL. I'd like to be able to find a way out of this mess and be able to upgrade properly rather than having to save my /usr/local and /etc and then reinstall new... This is what happened: * The autoup.sh on the cd-rom didn't run as listed in the documentation (not executable); * So I decided to try the apt method, since it'd worked so nicely on another machine I had. I installed apt, and then changed /etc/apt/sources.list to point to the cd-rom. * I ran "apt-get update".
