I was trying to update some packages off of the unstable branch, and noticed that required package "timezones" was selected for removal. Upon setting it for installation, I was greeted with the conflicts/dependancy screen (in dselect) wich stated that timezones conflicted with libc6. However, libc6 is supposed to suggest timezones. As dselect put it: libc6 conflicts with timezones. timezones depends on libc6.
The result, libc6 was set to "remove" as were several hundred packages with dependancies on it. I checked the bug reports on www.debian.org for timezones, and found this problem listed in the "resolved" section, which leeds me to believe that I am doing something wrong. So, all you slink->potato folks, what do I do? TIA, Bryan
