BiArch - sarge installable ?
A couple of weeks ago, my last biarch chroot went smoothly.
This time, I'm seeing version mismatches between the packages
on alioth's sarge and the mainstream sarge - so biarch is not
installable. For example, libc6 is required in different versions
for the biarch gcc and the 32arch apt. There is no biarch apt.
... so I have to _choose_ between having "gcc" or "apt-get".
Package: gcc-3.3
Versions:
1:3.3.3-1(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages)
1:3.3.2-0pre4.biarch1(/var/lib/apt/lists/debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages)
Dependencies:
1:3.3.2-0pre4.biarch1 - ... libc6 (2 2.3.2-1) ...
Package: apt
Versions:
0.5.22(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages)
Dependencies:
0.5.22 - libc6 (2 2.3.2.ds1-4)
If I'm misunderstanding the situation, please let me know.
Otherwise, is it sensible to override the dependency errors
and force the mismatched libc6 installation to occur ?
Are sid's versions more in step, so it'd be worth upgrading ?
Alternatively, did someone keep copies of the 32arch
packages whose versions pair up nicely with alioth ?
