Hello all: For the past couple of days I have been trying to install potato on a system. I have encountered problems. The problem is with libc6. I have tried to remove, -force-remove etc with dpkg without success.
I am running 2.2.12 on this PC. Following is the command I have issued and the results: dpkg -D70 -i libc6_2.1.2-9.deb D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci' (Reading database ... 17041 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace libc6 2.1.2-1 (using libc6_2.1.2-9.deb) ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Peter
