Problem upgrading to Potato
Hello all:
For the past couple of days I have been trying to install potato on a
system. I have encountered problems. The problem is with libc6.
I have tried to remove, -force-remove etc with dpkg without success.
I am running 2.2.12 on this PC.
Following is the command I have issued and the results:
dpkg -D70 -i libc6_2.1.2-9.deb
D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci'
(Reading database ... 17041 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libc6 2.1.2-1 (using libc6_2.1.2-9.deb) ...

I don't know how to resolve this problem. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
