All right, total Debian newbie question. Is 2.0 out? Is it available at ftp.debian.org? I'm pretty sure it's not what I'm seeing using dselect to for the default "stable non-free contrib" sections. > If you are comfortable manually ftping packages and installing them > manually with dpkg -i then you can probably get away with this: What does this do to dselect? I assume it's non-harmful, since dselect is just a front-end to dpkg (it is, isn't it)? > get the following packages and install them in the order given: > > libc5 > ldso > libc6 > ncurses3.0 > ncurses3.4 > libreadline > libreadlineg > bash > libg++ > dpkg > dpkg-dev > dpkg-ftp > libgdbm1 > libgdbmg1 When I go fishing into hamm for libc6, it says it conflicts with libc5 (which, of course, is on my system), so it won't install. And libc5 is kinda important, so I don't want to go ripping it out, right? So how do I upgrade? Is there some magic version of that ldso that lets libc6 slide in next to libc5? > Microsoft! Which end of the stick do you want today? Great .sig! Thanks in advance. Chris *** Christopher L.
