I'm not sure whether this will work. The system is currently a libc5
"bo" system. I want it to become a "slink" system. I can't just use
dpkg to install the potato version of apt, because it's a libc6
version. I would need to install potato-apt using apt. In the
process apt would presumably upgrade the system (correctly) to libc6.
But it would be a "potato" upgrade. How would I then downgrade back
to slink? --- my ultimate goal.
Mark.
