Installing Unstable, avoid upgrading from libc5 to libc6?
I have been trying to install unstable, rather than stable. In hopes that I
might be able to avoid some of the libc5 to libc6 upgrade head aches.
Used wget to mirror debian ftp site, "only i386, no source". Everything
works fine;
Access: OK, I linked
ln -s debian/hamm/hamm debian/hamm/stable
Update: OK finds and extracts
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/debian/hamm/stable/binary-i386/Packages.gz
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/debian/hamm/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.gz
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/debian/hamm/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz
Select: OK
Install: FAILS!!!
Can anyone tell me what these errors mean, and how to fix my installation
procedure???
Tim. Help!!
