Try changing your sources.list, updating, and then getting apt-utils, libc6, and dpkg. Then procced with the dist-upgrade. It should go smoother with a new apt. If it still insists on removing these, try apt-get installing them to upgrade their versions and then retry the dist-upgrade. If all else fails, go with dselect - it tends to be smarter. Good luck, Steve -- A farmer is a man outstanding in his field.
