Hi Colin (and everyone who wants to help!),
I tried to install libc6, and I was unable to install it....
below follows the output:
micron:/home/chiappa# apt-get install -f libc6-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.1.3-15) but 2.2-4 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
I was curious about the numbers associated to libc6, 2.1.3-15 (which is
in the stable branch) vs 2.2.-4 which is in the testing branch. Now
I remember that some time ago, when I was trying to install balsa, I
installed the version of balsa which was in woody (unstable at that time), and
the libc6 libs where updated in the process. Now I don't have balsa
anymore, I remove it, but I think that something was messed up whith libc6,
perhaps some information regarding woody? I am running potato 2.2.r2, and I
want to keep stick with it. How can I fix it?
In sources.list I am pointing to stable, so it seems that apt-get install want
to install
libc6 2.2.3-15 when libc6 2.2-4 is installed in my system, is this correct?
How can I go back to the version of libc6 which is in stable?
I tried to remove libc6 in order to install it again from stable, but a
huge amount of packages will be removed in the process and I am afraid to
mess up even more my system...
After looking for libc6 in my system with dselect I found that I have
installed libc6 2.2-4 indeed... I need to go back to 2.1.3, the version
in stable...
Thanks in advance for the help!
Marcelo
