Anyway, I have updated the libc6 packages on my site to the Sarge version and put together a wiki page describing the procedure which I think *might* result in a successful upgrade from Woody to Sarge on sun4c. The page is athttp://wiki.debian.net/?SparcSun4c Please try it out and document the results there. Best regards,
Sadly this does not work. The reason is that I simple cannot install modutils and initrd-tools as suggested in the upgrade document. both depend on a lot of other software and the dependency chain ends up in libc6 which causes an error during installation. I tried to force the installation without libc6, but this causes -- who wonders -- unsatisfied symbols. So no luck. I think in the long term I need to switch over to NetBSD which seems to be the only free OS support such damn old hardware :-) Cheers Wolfdieter
