Hello, i tried to install debian 2.1 the first time ... after i solved my problem with the initio-SCSI-host with help of the list-archive it's time for me to ask directly :(((
i used the potato 2.2.5 boot disks because of a problem of the boot-cd within the debian 2.1 package with the initio-SCSI-host ... installed the base-package from the 10 boot-disks and after the base-system was installed i tried to install packages from the 2.1-cd's. so far no problem, but no there is an unresolved dependence for the package: base/libc6 ... libc6 recommends libc6-bin libc6-bin does not appear to be available if i try to install nevertheless it tells me: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: [list of several packages] 0 packages upgraded, 40 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. and there it hangs ... minute after minute ... hour after hour ... SO .. is there an relationship between the missing libc6-bin and the hanging package-installation???? if so: where could i get this mysterious libc6-bin??? if not: what else could it be to hang the package-installation???? If this question is already a FAQ please let me now and redirect me to the corresponding site :))) Thx for help in advance _______________________________________________ Peter Palmreuther | zone35 * anklamerstr. 7 * d-10115 berlin | Tel +49 30 440 13616 * Fax +49 30 440 13613 | http://www.zone35.de /pgp/pp | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ______________________________________________|
