This happened with the new libc6 (2.3.x) going into testing. The package that was uploaded conflicts with php4 4.1, so you get those errors... The suggestions given by the Release Manager when he announced this problem in the libc upgrade annoucement were: a) Upgrade to php4 from unstable b) Put libc6 on hold until the next version (without the conflicts) migrates in, or php4 4.2 migrates into testing. c) I forget. (Go to the debian-devel-announce archives and find the email, I guess) Upgrading to php4 from unstable will pull in some other libraries too (libmm12 for example). It shouldn't cause any problems, though... I've been running it on a G4 tower since the update, without any observed problems. It would also be possible to hack up the libc6 package to remove the conflicts, since apparently it's a problem with an earlier 4.2.x release of php4 which is no longer in the archive, but the conflicts line wasn't specific enough. There're tools to change the conflicts line without rebuilding the package, but I don't remember what they are. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 6th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
