Unpacking replacement libc6-dev ... I am running a currently up-to-date Sarge box. The current version of libc6 is 2.3.2.ds1-22. Version 2.3.2.ds1-17 was uploaded on 19 Aug. That means that the box has likely not been properly updated since sometime between the middle of August and the beginning of October (when version 2.3.2.ds1-18 was uploaded). This is generally not a good thing. Not only that, but you are installing things from Sid, the current unstable distribution. It is not good to mix distributions (stable, testing, unstable, experimental) unless you are *sure* you know what you are doing. The best thing I can recommend is to boot a Knoppix CD (assuming the box is x86, if not then another suitable LiveCD Linux distro) and chroot in and try and fix it. That will allow you to back out and chroot back in if necessary. At this point. Your best bet is likely to just upgrade to testing or usntable. You can try going back to stable, but downgrades are not supported by the Debian developers and it is a dicey proposition at best. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
