I am trying to install Mono on my Debian System. I went to
backports.org and downloaded the Mono packages for Sarge, the version of Debian I am running. When I tried to install Mono apt told me that I needed a more recent version of libc6 and libglib. I donwloaded these from the main debian repository.
When I try to update libc6 and libglib I get a long list of packages that will be removed. Does this mean removed as in "permanently removed, no longer on your system"? That wouldn't be good! Am I going to "break" all that other software if I try to update these two packages?
