Here's what happens when I try that: eeyore:/home/hall# apt-get install libc6=2.2.4-1 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: <snipped list of (40) packages> The following packages will be DOWNGRADED libc6 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 40 to remove and 16 not upgraded. 1 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 3417kB of archives. After unpacking 67.3MB will be freed. That's not what you intended, is it ?? I am running unstable though... Also, if I did get this to work, what's the dpkg command that tells it *not* to upgrade libc6, that I want to keep this existing version ?? Regards Hall
