libc5 version 5.4.23-6
I'm not sure what the sequence was but I somehow have managed to get
a version 5.4.23-6 of libc5 installed. Running dselect using the ftp
method from ftp.debian.org and with the distributions as
frozen unstable hamm/contrib hamm/non-free
shows version 5.4.23-4 of libc5 as the available version. I also have
libc5-altdev installed but at version 5.4.23-4. It depends on
libc5-5.4.23-4 so I get a dependency problem whenever I try to select
with dselect.
Would this inconsistency in versions be a problem? Should I manually
download and install libc5-5.4.23-4.deb?
As you may surmise from my using libc5-altdev, I also have libc6 and
libc6-dev installed. I am running into a few problems. For example,
I am unable to compile a new kernel with either /usr/bin/gcc or
/usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin/gcc (details available upon request).
