Re: Help with errors in dpkg

$ sudo apt-get install libc6
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libdb1-compat
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libc6
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/3381kB of archives. After unpacking 13.0MB will be used.
