libc confusion
With 'unstable' I'm getting an increasingly large number of packages
being held back (seemingly on 'libc') and was wondering whether I'd
messed something up (eg when experimenting with 'apt-cacher' and
generally trying to get a new box up and running 'unstable'). Any advice
on the below output or other poss causes of prob most welcome. Thanks, M

Building dependency tree...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xscreensaver: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1) but 2.3.2.ds1-22 is to be
installed
Depends: libxinerama1 but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libxml2 (>= 2.6.21) but 2.6.20-1 is to be
installed
Depends: libxxf86misc1 but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libxxf86vm1 but it is not going to be installed
