I'm not sure what the sequence was but I somehow have managed to get a version 5.4.23-6 of libc5 installed. Running dselect using the ftp method from ftp.debian.org and with the distributions as frozen unstable hamm/contrib hamm/non-free shows version 5.4.23-4 of libc5 as the available version. I also have libc5-altdev installed but at version 5.4.23-4. It depends on libc5-5.4.23-4 so I get a dependency problem whenever I try to select with dselect.
Would this inconsistency in versions be a problem? Should I manually download and install libc5-5.4.23-4.deb? As you may surmise from my using libc5-altdev, I also have libc6 and libc6-dev installed. I am running into a few problems. For example, I am unable to compile a new kernel with either /usr/bin/gcc or /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin/gcc (details available upon request). sh-2.00# dpkg -l | egrep libc # show installed versions of libc-related pkgs ii altgcc 2.7.2.2-2 Alternate gcc package for the libc5 environm ii glibcdoc 1.92-1 GNU C library Info documentation (edition 0. ii libc4 4.6.27-15 The Linux C library version 4 (run-time libr ii libc5 5.4.23-6 The Linux C library version 5 (run-time libr ii libc5-altdev 5.4.23-4 The Linux C library version 5 (alternative d ii libc6 2.0.3-4 The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files) ii libc6-dev 2.0.3-4 The GNU C library version 2 (development fil -- Douglas Bates [EMAIL PROTECTED] Statistics Department 608/262-2598 University of Wisconsin - Madison http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~bates/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
