locales/glibc dependency problem
I'm having difficulty installing the locales package (which dselect
wants to remove). It complains about glibc package not being available.
I've unpacking the deb file, and it's control file shows that it is
dependent on glibc-2.2.5-6:
Package: locales
Version: 2.2.5-6
Section: base
Priority: standard
Architecture: all
Depends: glibc-2.2.5-6, debconf (>= 0.2.26)
However, there is no glibc package, and in the packages search results
(http://packages.debian.org/testing/base/locales.html) the locales
package is shown to be dependent on libc6.
At the moment I'm having to force dpkg to install this, and also the JDK
from Blackdown, which depends on it.
My /etc/apt/sources.list contains these lines:
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib
non-free
Any ideas on how to fix this?
thank you,
Erik
