libc6 errors when trying to apt-get
I have a SparcStation 10 that is running debian/stable on it.
Everything has been working fine -- this systems main use is as a tape
backup server and DHCP server for my LAN. As it stands, I tried to run
apt-get dist-upgrade this morning for the first time in about 1 week.
When it ran, it errored out with the libc6 package, and when I try to
run 'apt-get -f install' to fix it, I get the following error:
blackhole:~# apt-get -f install

Has anyone else seen a problem with the libc6 package lately? I am
running kernel 2.4.19 -- custom build. Thanks for any assistance you
might lend.
