rpcgen has moved to libc6-dev. I'd thought problems relating to this were fixed in libc6-dev 2.2.3-5, but obviously not; the bug tracking system's down at the moment, so I can't check. In the meantime, try 'apt-get -o DPkg::Options::--force-overwrite -f install'. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
