Re: libc6-dev conflict
[Note: Posted to the list, as the original reply went directly
to Christian.]
Hi Christian,
Thanks for replying to my inquiry. My information is different than
what you provided. When I installed Woody, I did tell the installer
that I wanted the security updates when I installed Woody.
My Apt sources list:
#deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
#deb-src http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
#deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free

My tools don't tell me that a 2.3.* is available, just 2.2.*. Are you
running stuff from testing? For example:
dpkg -s libc6 gives:

and dpkg -s libc6-dev gives

Where did you get the 2.3.* packages. I asked the question, as usually
updates don't break things. Now weather it is a bug that the prerequisites
to a security update are in stable or not I'm not sure. But that is what
I wanted to point out.
I do a bit of compiling on this system,
so I did pull in the developers packages (C/C++).
How did you pick up the 2.3.*?
Thanks,
