Bug#35698: libc6 conflicts with 'timezones', while timezones depends on libc6
Package: timezones
Version: 2.0.7.19981211-6
Is 'timezones' a required packet on a libc6 system? It depends on libc6,
but glibc conflicts with timezones!
My `dselect' apt method source list:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the select menu I see the following:
--- Available packages (not currently installed)
---
----- Available Required packages -----
------- Available Required packages in section base -------
--- Req base timezones 2.0.7.19981 2.0.7.19981 GNU C Library:
Timezone data and utilities
If I try to select it, I get the following:
timezones removed (configs remain); remove (was: remove). Required
libc6 conflicts with timezones
timezones depends on libc6
and it deselects some hundred packages (depending on libc6)
