libc6: How to downgrade
Hello everybody,
First of all - Paul, thanks for the pointers and the
link - I'll try and pay attention on the correct
subject and questioning.
Now... I must say I really don't understand why the
W3C Amaya didn't compile - I found the libglib1.2 WAS
installed and yet it couldn't find it's way to :-S
(which is wby I changed the subject to the specific
"how to downgrade")
Now... I've got a fast internet connection so if it's
really needed to downgrade a lot... ok then;
But my question isn't really answered yet: How do I do
this ? apt-get just refuses to do this ? Do I have to
use the apt-get -f install way ? How do I get the
system complete even though the program executes that
?
Thanks in advance,
Joris Huizer
