Which version of libc? I mirror directly off of ftp.debian.org and
with the version there I still have the same problem. After just a
couple of invocations of "apt-get upgrade" I now get:
% apt-get upgrade
Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have
unmet dependencies:
libc6: Conflicts:dpkg
E: Internal Error, AllUpgrade broke stuff
How do I fix this?
Installed versions:
dpkg: 1.4.0.23.2
libc6: 2.0.7u-7
When I try to install the new version of dpkg I get:
% dpkg -i dpkg_1.4.0.31.deb
dpkg: regarding dpkg_1.4.0.31.deb containing dpkg:
libc6 conflicts with dpkg (= 1.4.0.31)
dpkg (version 1.4.0.31) is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing dpkg_1.4.0.31.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing dpkg
Errors were encountered while processing:
dpkg_1.4.0.31.deb
So, I'm stuck! Any help is greatly appreciated!!
