I just uploaded a fixed version of ia32-libs to the gcc4 archive which resolves the conflict. The ia32-libs(-dev) packages in the gcc4 archive do not install the 32 bit libc6 and libc6-dev files itself. Instead they just depend on the libc6-i386 and libc6-dev-i386 packages which are created by the glibc package in the gcc4 archive. Besides upgrading to the fixed versions of the ia32-libs packages, I also recommend to check if '/usr/bin/ldd' works properly after the upgrade. The ia32-libs version 1.2 introduced a diversion for ldd which should be undone. Regards Andreas Jochens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
