Where are you trying to install mondo from? It makes no sense for a package built for a particular system to be incompatible with the libs in that system.
The 8.04 repository version of mondo doesn't deal with Ubuntu UUID among other things.. it works but is deprecated by the mondo developers. The recommended version has the dependency issue. I'm assuming that if I build from source I will run into the same libc6 version problems.
Catch 22 since I'm using Mondo to help with upgrading one Ubuntu LTS to the next.
That said, you can override dependencies with dpkg if you really want to, like this: cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ sudo dpkg -i --force-depends mondo*.deb It's probably best to tab-complete the package name rather than globbing it, as it's possible you'll have multiple versions of a particular package in /var/cache/apt/archives/. It's also probably not the best of ideas to be doing this on a production server -- dependencies exist for a reason. The alternative is to try to build the package yourself from source: sudo apt-get build-dep mondo apt-get -b source mondo sudo dpkg -i mondo*.deb I'm not sure about the last command because I don't know exactly where apt-get puts the binary package after building it. You may have to look around for it yourself.
