Finally I've managed to upgrade the PowerWave 604|120, Woody -> Sarge -> Etch ... more or less. The current problem is with libc6. It appears to be stuck at Sarge and is not fully configured. The report in running dselect is this. dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure): Can anyone suggest how to resolve this or at least how I might find why it happens? Thanks, ...
