Wrong dependencies for slink?

[Luca Maranzano <liuk@mozart.publinet.it>]

Hello,

I'm trying to install frozen on a new machine.

I was not able to use the rescue floppy from 2.1.0_1998-10-31
(but this is another story), so I installed the base system of
2.0 and then I told dselect to user the /frozen/ tree.

I've used the ftp method, grabbing from a my own mirror.

In the select phase I left almost all the default packages (only
replaced exim with sendmail and removed tetex), then going on to
the download phase, I got the following errors:

getting: dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/base/libc6_2.0.7u-7.deb (583768)

It is not a problem of mirror, since I've even tryed to use ftp.debian.org.

The situation now is this:

running dpkg --pending --configure ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of telnet:
 telnet depends on libstdc++2.9; however:
  Package libstdc++2.9 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing telnet (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

Am I wrong or is there some critical error somwehere?

Thanks in advance for any answers.
Luca.
