(And will they work?) Ahhh, there we go. As long as you don't have too much other sid stuff installed, try using dpkg to install the correct stable version of libc (the one that libc6-dev depends on). You might need to use the --force-downgrade option...Of course, the sid stuff that origiinally pulled libc 2.3 down in the first place will have to be removed. If you really need them though, go read up on using 'deb-src' lines and 'apt-get source' to rebuild the sid package from source, using your existing libraries. -rob
