[First off, let me say that you should switch to Gentoo; these sorts of things don't happen there. <grin>]

Solution is *probably* to apt-get update (clearing any intermediate apt-proxys you may have lying in the way) and cross your fingers it's fixed. Other solutions include a downgrade of libdb4.2 to -18 (but if the binary package has gone bye-byes, you're stuffed) or hunting down libdb4.2-dev 4.2.52-19 by hand from a mirror and dpkg -i'ing it into oblivion. Then apache-dev will have all it's deps already installed, and everything will be happy. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
