apt is telling you that there is a problem with some packages. apt is just
asking for a little help - you have to manually clear the problem before it

try doing what apt suggests. run "apt-get -f install".
if that fails, then read on:
it looks like your system is only partially upgraded from libc5 to libc6.
try removing libg++27-dev and libgdbm1-dev with "dpkg -r". then you should
be able to install wget, either install it with dpkg or with apt ("apt-get
install wget").
if that works, you should now be able to do a dselect upgrade.
