libc6 install problems HELP Please
Hi All,
I was attempting to install mplayer and one of its
depends was libpostproc0 which had a depend of libc6.
I know I should learn how to make a deb from source.
Anyway I did a apt-get install libc6 from unstable and
this is what I get once the download is complete. The
three packages it is talking about is libc6 libc6-dev
and locales. Here is what I get when I try and do the
install:
G:/home/dodaa# apt-get install libc6
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Sorry, libc6 is already the newest version.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove
and 241 not upgraded.
3 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be
used.
Setting up libc6 (2.3.1-4) ...
Checking for services that may need to be
restarted...Package `logind' is not installed and no
info is available.
Package `apache2' is not installed and no info is
available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive
files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list
their contents.

Colin Watson once said in a responce to a Debian
reinstall " A Debian re-install is a LAST resort, you
should be able to fix any problems" A para-phrase.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
