OK, that's the version that's waiting to be installed, as the error indicates. Can you browse on the CD itself, to /cdrom/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/ to see what version is there? If it's the same, then there could be some problem with dependencies on the CD. If it's different, you haven't successfully gotten the CD recognized by apt. I have a woody source CD set which was done just about the time woody released, with libc6=2.2.5-6, so I'm betting it will be around there, unless it's a pre-release CD. David replies: Interesting, the version is 2.2.5-11.2... for libc6, glibc-doc, locales, and libc6-dev I'm puzzled. The CD was being scanned and read. Sources.list correctly has the CDs identified. Dselect supposedly is taking care of the rest. What was it I'm supposed to do to get it to read the correct files on the CD? As for trying to upgrade via apt-get I will confess to ignoring: "Don't forget to mount all needed partitions (notably the root and /usr partitions) mount -o remount,rw /(italicized)mountpoint I forgot, and other than getting rote instructions, I don't know how to complete this command, my obvious stabs at it failing.
