Any help with this will be greatly appreciated-- I'm a bit of a holdout in
a Red Hat shop, and I've always claimed it was the ease of upgrade that
made me prefer debian... this will teach me not to monkey with an upgrade
until it's stable!
I tried to upgrade to Frozen from Slink using:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
And it failed. I tried tinkering a little bit with
apt-get -f install|remove <package>
I did a few similar things with dpkg, but I don't want to second-guess the
proper order in which to install libc6-related packages.
Here's the tail of an apt-get dist-upgrade:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
g77: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2) but 2.0.7.19981211-6 is installed
Depends: gcc (>= 1:2.95.2-4) but it is not installed
Depends: gcc (< 1:2.95.3) but it is not installed
libstdc++2.10: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2) but 2.0.7.19981211-6 is installed
cpp: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2) but 2.0.7.19981211-6 is installed

binutils: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1) but 2.0.7.19981211-6 is installed
And output from `apt-get -f dist-upgrade` :
Need to get 0B/227MB of archives. After unpacking 111MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
