timzones and libc6 in the unstable branch

[Bryan Scaringe <scaringe@mediaone.net>]

I was trying to update some packages off of the unstable branch,
and noticed that required package "timezones" was selected for removal.
Upon setting it for installation, I was greeted with the
conflicts/dependancy screen (in dselect) wich stated that timezones
conflicted with libc6.  However, libc6 is supposed to suggest timezones.
As dselect put it:
  libc6 conflicts with timezones.
  timezones depends on libc6.

The result, libc6 was set to "remove" as were several hundred packages
with dependancies on it.

I checked the bug reports on www.debian.org for timezones, and found
this problem listed in the "resolved" section, which leeds me
to believe that I am doing something wrong.

So, all you slink->potato folks, what do I do?

TIA,
	Bryan
