Trying to install gnome from slink

[Daniel Mashao <daniel@comgate.ee.uct.ac.za>]

I am trying to install gnome from slink. Using all the 'Basic' packages as
shown in "http://www.gnome.org/start/getting_debian.shtml"; I found myself
having to download a lot of packages due to dependencies. 

Finally I got stuck trying to install libc6_2.0.7u-4.deb with the
following message:

vitasat# dpkg -i libc6_2.0.7u-4.deb 
(Reading database ... 23392 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libc6 2.0.7u-4 (using libc6_2.0.7u-4.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
Setting up libc6 (2.0.7u-4) ...
Usage: init 0123456SsQqAaBbCc
dpkg: error processing libc6 (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libc6


Now what can I do? The message lets me know something is wrong but what
can I do about it?
