I have Debian 2.0 installed. I want to upgrade to 2.1. I'm using apt 0.3.4.
I did copy all the files from my Debian-2.1-CDs onto my harddisc and edited sources.list accordingly -> It seems to work. When I want to upgrade some package e.g. wwwoffle: # apt-get -f -s install wwwoffle Sorry, but the follwing packages have unmet dependecies: wwwoffle: Depends libc6 (>= 2.0.7u) but 2.0.7t-1 is installed. OK, this is normal. So I tried to upgrade libc6: # apt-get -f -s install libc6 Sorry, libc6 is already the newest version. BUT: On my Debian-2.1-CDs is libc6_2.0.7.19981211-6.deb which IS newer than version 2.0.7t-1 ans which is also newer than version 2.0.7u (This is written in the changelog.debian of this package) 1st question: Any clues what to do? 2nd question: In the changelog.debian is also written: ... glibc (2.0.7u-2): ... as this version is not backward compatible with earlier versions. -> When I upgrade to libc6_2.0.7.19981211-6, will this break other installed packages, or is it safe to do this upgrade? Many thanks in advance Johann Kallinovsky (Austria)
