I recently downloaded the netinst ISO of Woody and proceeded
to install it. It downloaded the packages fine, but when it came time to install
it there were numerous version conflict errors. Most of them centered around the
likes of locales, libc6, libgtk1.2 and related packages.
In the end I think I figured out that the problem was most a
few of the packages (like gtk1.2 and others which are required to run
pretty much everything) need libc6-2.1.3 to be installed whereas Woody has
libc6-2.2.5 in the base system. This is particularly annoying as it means not
that much can actually be done in X Windows, etc.
I've looked around for a solution and only really found the
cause. If anyone knows how to resolve this conflict that would be great. Or if
it one of those things that you can't do anything about then I will give up, but
I would like to use Woody.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
