This is unlikely, like really, so please mention the EXACT command you run and include the COMPLETE output of it. With a oneline summary nobody can help you. You can also attach the file /var/lib/dpkg/status which includes information about all packages you have installed. It will enable others to reproduce your problem more easily (but it exposes the mentioned info, so if you don't want to expose it to the public, you can also sent it to me and I will try what I can) Also, why is this "grave" if you can still say 'no'? Details please. > Following packages are broken: > libc-bin, libc6 libc6-dbg, libc6-i686, libc6:amd64 How are they broken? Could dpkg not install them or what? Again details are the key. And why are they broken if you haven't approved the the solution apt proposed. Also, the selection is obscure. Why do you have multiarch enabled on a i386 system? The infos reportbug attached suggest that you use a PAE kernel, so its not for the kernel… > Apt-get upgrade tried to install experimental versions and experimental libc6 > was installed, not the others. Why do you use experimental if you can't deal with the breakage it could include? I don't think it is a good idea to ever "upgrade/dist-upgrade" against experimental… > Attempt to downgrade will remove most everything as well. Downgrades are not supported and usually not a good idea. Trying to downgrade really important stuff like libc6 will not just not work, but explode bigtime. Best regards David Kalnischkies
