There are only three ways of upgrading which have a chance of success: 1. Get the libc5-libc6 HOWTO. See the link to Developers' Corner at www.debian.org and follow the steps therein. 2. Use the autoup.sh script. See http://www.taz.net.au/autoup/autoup/ This is also at the www.debian.org site, but often not the latest version. 3. Install apt_0.0.16-0.1bo_i386, which is at http://www.debian.org/~jgg/ and do 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. All of the above methods will upgrade to the correct libc5 and do several other installations in the correct order. If you just try to install libc6 to a bo system, you will certainly fail! Depending on the state of the hamm packages, even the above methods can sometimes result in (usually minor) problems.
