libc6 upgrade problems
Okay, so I've brought this on myself. I was trying to install
openafs-client, which seemed to require openafs-krb5, which seemed to
require libc6 from testing. So, on my potato 2.2r3 machine, I downloaded
libc6_2.2.3-9_i386.deb and did dpkg --install libc6_2.2.3-9_i386.deb. It
seemed to work fine, and allowed me to install the other
packages. However, now I get:
hm269-26876:/usr/src/deb# man
man: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.3: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
and other assorted similar errors. So, I tried to revert to the
distribution's version of libc6, but can't figure out how to do so. I
tried:
hm269-26876:/usr/src/deb# apt-get install libc6

Sorry, libc6 is already the newest version
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.1.3-18) but 2.2.3-9 is to be installed
libgtk1.2: Depends: gconv-modules
locales: Depends: libc6 (= 2.1.3-18) but 2.2.3-9 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

Any ideas?
Thanks.
