I've solved this problem. I did an "apt-get -f install less" which in
the process of installing the slink-less, upgraded the system to
libc6. Then I used dpkg to install the potato version of apt.
Now I am trying to do an apt-get upgrade of the system to slink. But
I get the following error:
WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed

So what is to be done with the getty package?
Thanks,
Mark.
