Upgrade 2.0 -> 2.1: Should I stay or should I go?
Hi, I have a Debian 2.0 box, which I would like to upgrade to 2.1.
I have, some time ago, manually upgraded to libc6 v.2.1 because I
wanted to use mutt1.0.
Now if I follow instructions on:
http://www.nl.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
it tells me to get: apt_0.1.8_i386
Installing this conflicts with my version of libc6, so I got apt_0.3.10slink11
This did install allright.
Now if I pursue with: apt-get -f -s dist-upgrade, I receive the following
error information:
E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6
E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6
E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6
E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6
E: Fatal, conflicts violated libc6

Now my question really is: can I pursue with the upgrade (and will
apt know that my libc6 is already on par)? Or do I need to do
something drastic and unload libc6 or something? Maybe even forget
about the whole thing? I am a little scared...
Any pointers much appreciated!
