RE: sparc32 problems with libc6 and 2.4 kernel
Thank-you for this information. I have finally had a chance to remove
gentoo and give this a try.
http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/sparc/release-notes/ap-kernel-upgra
de-howto.en.html
I verified the installation of aptitude (woody version)
I verified that no packages were broken, unconfigured or pending in dpkg
I have altered my sources.list with the suggested repository
I have installed modutils (successful, but: **Unresolved Symbols in
/lib/modules/2.2.20/fs/hfs.o)
Cannot install initrd-tools as it is expecting cramfsprogs (>= 1.1-4)
Cannot install cramfsprogs as it is expecting zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)
zlib1g has the libc6 issue again.....
I will continue to review the documentation, and attempt to understand
where I am going wrong.
Thank-you
Shaun

This is a known issue. Because of the libc and kernel circular
dependency
we had to formulate a special upgrade procedure for sparc. It is
documented in the Sarge release notes for sparc:
