Bug#188383: Overwriting /lib/64 for me too
severity 188383 critical
thanks
Marking as critical as without manual fiddling this breaks upgrades.
Upgrading from Woody to testing (May 1st 2003) on a SPARC Ultra 5.
I installed Woody, everything was okay and installed. Switched to
testing, and tried to first upgrade dpkg:
$ apt-get install dpkg
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

Urgh. I tried lots of combinations but eventually:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
dpkg: PreDepends: dselect but it is not going to be installed
libc6-sparc64: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.5) but 2.3.1-16 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
agloval:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get install dpkg dselect libc6-sparc64
