Hi All, I was attempting to install mplayer and one of its depends was libpostproc0 which had a depend of libc6. I know I should learn how to make a deb from source. Anyway I did a apt-get install libc6 from unstable and this is what I get once the download is complete. The three packages it is talking about is libc6 libc6-dev and locales. Here is what I get when I try and do the install: G:/home/dodaa# apt-get install libc6 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Sorry, libc6 is already the newest version. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 241 not upgraded. 3 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Don
