Re: slink->frozen upgrade problems



Same *exact* problem here--stuck on the "pre-depend" error. No fiddling could get over the bump.

Just to clarify: the above does *NOT* work, as of 1630 MST 02/22/2000.

The libc6_2.1.3-4_i386.deb fails to install, with the error 'Couldn't
configure a pre-depend'. This appears to be due to it being pre-dependent
on debianutils, which is in turn predendent on libc6. The version numbers
that are required make this upgrade impossible to do at the moment.
