Thanks for the tip, already did that.

Whats the best way of doing that?
I already googled a lot, but I don't see how pinning could help in my case :-/

The problem for now is, when I e.g. try to install ssh with "apt-get
install", apt reports a lot of packages can't be installed because
they depend on libc6 > 2.3.2 which is marked to be not installed.

apt-get -f install tells me it would remove half of my system
(including apache, postgres, ...).


Thanks for all your patience, and sorry for the traffic.

Thanks, Clemens
