um, couldn't you have tried this _before_ the release? Don't tell me there
was not enough time...

etc.etc. WHAT? Any other messages? does the new post remove work or not? If
not, whats the error? Check your /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postrm (there
should be two, dpkg.new and the "old" one?) and see whats failing.

I must have installed it somehow, but then I am running woody already since
a long time. Oh no, this is freshly installed just a few weeks ago since my
harddisks died, but before that I switched from potato to woody. I remember
it was a little painful, but I got it working somehow. What is the libc
version you are trying to replace? Sorry, no potato system around, so I can
not play with this. Maybe you find something useful on the woody page.
Try playing with --force-depends or other interesting dpkg options.
And when you found the solution, please report it here so I can add it to
the woody page.
