Just my $0.02 here. I had this annoyance to and eventually gave in and upgraded to libc6... while I guess other people had problems, I simply followed the instructions from the Mini Howto and had a grand total of one problem, some slight utmp corruption (which is hardly a earth shattering problem). All I did was upgrade the related packages and everything has worked painlessly. If you feel up to it (it really isn't that bad if you are at all familiar with Debian/Linux) just upgrade, and lets have our developers spend time doing cooler things then maintaining backwards compatibility... besidees hopefully 2.0 will be out soon :) Adam. ------------------------ Internet Alaska -------------------------- 4050 Lake Otis Adam Shand (v) +1 907 562 4638 Anchorage, Alaska Systems Administrator (f) +1 907 562 1677 ----------------- http://larry.earthlight.co.nz ------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
