Well, using the advice given in response to this inquiry, I was able to
get my system upgraded to unstable. Here's what I went through to get
it done. There are probably extra steps in here, but hey, it worked!
- use dselect to remove all *-dev packages
- download the following:
libc6
ldso
libreadline2
libreadline2g
ncurses3.4
bash
- install them:
dpkg -i libc6*
dpkg -i ldso*
dpkg -i libreadline2*
dpkg -i libreadline2g*
dpkg -i ncurses3.4*
dpkg --configure libreadline2g
dpkg -i bash*
- run dselect and resolve dependency problems
- allow dselect to upgrade system
- dselect chokes on dependancies, so exit dselect
- edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc5.postinst and comment out the following
do_locale lines l:
#do_locale fr_BE ISO-8859-1
#do_locale gr_GR ISO-8859-7
#do_locale hr_HR ISO-8859-4
#do_locale iw_IL ISO-8859-8
#do_locale kl_GL ISO-8859-1
#do_locale nl_BE ISO-8859-1
#do_locale ro_RO ISO-8859-1
#do_locale ru_RU ISO-8859-5
- now you can configure some essential packages:
dpkg --configure libc5
dpkg --configure libgdbm1
dpkg --configure perl
- OK, now you should be able to run dselect again and go through the
install process without problems.
