Re: installing xlib6g (libc6)
I've had that problem quite a bit, where things require lib6g, or
standard lib6.. and I've had the other installed. (Depends which system
I'm on).
Anyways... I have found you can force the install... and in every case
to date.. its worked fine. Try this...
dpkg --force-depends -i package.deb
So far.. I have been able to install all packages that require the
reciprical of what I have .. and I have yet to come across a problem.
Some die-hards will say this insn't all to clean, but as I have stated..
it works fine on about 4 different machines I've done it on.
