Yes, I did mean the .deb in testing but you are correct - it now depends on a version of libc6 greater than the one in stable. At the time I got it that was not so. However, I should have checked instead of being so definite that installation would proceed with no problem. An alternative would be to build a wwwoffle package using the potato libc6. Add this line to your sources.list (not tested by me). deb-src ftp://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free Then apt-get update apt-get source --build wwwoffle dpkg -i wwwoffle_2.6a-2_i386.deb Brian.
