stable->unstable = dependency problems with libc6 and kernel
Trying to upgrade a sparc20 from stable to unstable.
# apt-get update
<snip>
# apt-get dist-upgrade
<snip>
Preparing to replace libc6 2.2.5-11.5
(using .../libc6_2.3.2.ds1-11_sparc.deb) ...
Name Service Switch has changed in the C Library: pre-installation question.
Running programs may not be able to do NSS lookups until they are restarted.
Some services can not accept all authentication after extracting glibc
package into your system. This script automatically restarts some packages
for example ssh or telnetd, but other packages for example xdm
cannot restart because if it restarts automatically, then your X11 session
is disconnected. So you have to logout and stop xdm; you have to
restart all such services after upgrading glibc with your hands.
Known packages that are needed to stop before installing glibc 2.3:
xdm kdm gdm postgresql xscreensaver
This script does not detect services which need to stop.
If you want to stop upgrade for the present, please answer the below
question as No.
Do you want to upgrade glibc? [Y/n] y
WARNING: You have a cpu which requires kernel 2.4.21 or greater in order to
install this version of glibc. Please upgrade the kernel before installing
this package.
You should be able to install the latest version of the sparc kernel-image in
order to satisfy this need. You can also download and compile the latest
kernel source yourself from a kernel mirror (see http://www.kernel.org/).

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-11) but 2.2.5-11.5 is to be installed
libdb1-compat: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5-13) but 2.2.5-11.5 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a
solution).
# apt-get -f install
The following extra packages will be installed:
libc6
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 111 not upgraded.

There was a problem running depmod. This may be benign,
(You may have versioned symbol names, for instance).
Or this could be an error.
depmod exited with return value 1
In any case, since depmod is run at install time,
we could just defer running depmod
Would you like to abort now? [Yes] no
