Re: HELP!!!! my boxen is broken

[Stuart_Luscombe@computacenter.com]

Thanks for the advice....

I tried the apt-get -f install libc6, but I was still getting errors.

In the end, I downloaded it from packages.debian.org and ftp'd it down
to the machine and then performed a dpkg -i libc6<rest of package name>

This seems to have worked a treat and all is working again :)

Never use 'apt-get upgrade' across different versions of the
distribution: it won't make the right decisions. Use 'apt-get
dist-upgrade' instead, or just use dselect.

Don't remove libc6! Upgrading it individually with 'apt-get install
libc6' may help.

That's slightly different; you need to upgrade libdb2.
