Re: Re: libc6 (?) related conflicts involving emacs21 and other packages

I am sorry that I have not yet figured out how to set up an e-mail 
connection from my beginning
debian system, so I am copying things off the screen.

apt-cache showpkg libc6-dev shows in part:

***********************************
      Versions:
   2.3.6.ds1-13(/var/lib/dpkg/status)
   2.3.6.ds1-11(/var/lib/apt/....5fEtch...CD...Binary-1...20070226-09:38

***********************************

The output for apt-cache showpkg libc6 is similar to the above.  For
libc6-amd64 I get:

***********************************
2.3.6.ds1-13(/var/lib/apt/lists/...Binary-4...20070311-23:58...)
2.3.6.ds1-11(/var/lib...Binary-1...20070226-09:38...)
***********************************

It seems that an attempt now to install ANY additional package has 
aptitude wanting
to delete emacs21 and (even worse) to remove grub (version 0.97-23).
