and here is what I get when I try to install locales:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
locales: Depends: glibc-2.2.5-11.5
E: Sorry, broken packages
I need locales for mysql-server I believe.
but I think what I have successfully done is.. confused apt-get big time
and now apt-get is not so happy with me.
can anyone help me to get my df back to normal? and apt-get too. .
thanks a lot in advance..
Reinstall woody :)
You can fix apt-get by removing locales and everything that depends on
it.
You can try --reinstall --force-downgrade libc6 down to Woody, but I
wouldn't recommend it, as libc6 is such an essential package.
As for df, ditch it, apt-get install stat, and use 'stat -f /' instead
of 'df /'.
