libc6 and apt-get upgrade
Hello,
Earlier I tried to 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' my system (an
Ultra2 running 2.4.18 SMP) and I get an error pertaining to the newer
version of libc6 and gcc-3.0 (error listed below). I think someone
else mentioned this problem earlier, but couldn't find if a resolution
was reached. Thanks in advance.
