RE: Debian Woody CONFLICT - libc6 and SpamAssassin
Here's more info on my troubles with dselect:
Dselect says. I choose something new (or nothing at all) from the list
of available packages. Then I try to exit the package selection screen
and I get a 'Dependency/conflict resolution - introduction.'. Then I get
a screen about recursive package listings. Perhaps I need to remove some
file and let Debian recreate it?

I have installed some software outside of the Debian package world but
nothing system level. I always look for the software through Debian
before resorting to source builds and installs.
Thanks for the tips!

What exactly does dselect say, what does 'dpkg -l spamassassin libc6'
say, what's in /etc/apt/sources.list, and have you installed any
packages from outside woody?
