Hi; I have been bitten with this twice now, so I think that there is more than one issue here. The first time I had just restarted my cron updates after having shut them down as soon as the glib problem was reported on this listmail.
I mailed the list on Oct 16,see thread"still cannot access DEbian.org" I use postfix as my MTA so it was working then -after- the error from apt-get update, however the following day when I tried to reply to Jason Gunthorpe, postfix failed on sending with the mail stuck in the mail queue. I completely rebuilt the installation from Potato CD's,no woody aps,and all worked fine until I tried to install Pysol from woody,to get sound. Apt-get -d install pysol retrieved nine glib6 related files so figuring that the library screwup had been resolved from comments on the list I installed them. Postfix broke with a stuck mail queue, apt-get broke again and I have just finished reinstalling potato on a separate drive to enable mail. I reckon I will stay down here for mail until I can find out how to repair woody 'cos there is a heap off apps there I don't have room for on this drive.

Yes Pysol with sound works great. -- ----russ----
