I installed ia64 Squeeze 6.0.4 from DVD to an HP Integrity rx1620. I enabled mirrors during the install - ftp.us.debian.org.
After installation, I updated against ftp.us.debian.org. I attempted to install build-essential and was blocked: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: build-essential : Depends: libc6.1-dev but it is not going to be installed or libc-dev Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be installed The 6.0.4 ia64 DVD has ./pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6.1-dev_2.11.3-2_ia64.deb ./pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6.1_2.11.3-2_ia64.deb However, my newly-installed system has ii libc6.1 2.11.3-3 The other 2.11.3-3 versions for libc6.1-dev are available, and on a different rx1620 I downloaded and installed libc6.1-dev_2.11.3-3_ia64.deb libc-dev-bin_2.11.3-3_ia64.deb and was able to do apt-get install build-essential afterwards without the error. Why does updating against ftp.us.debian.org not mark libc6.1-dev 2.11.3-3 as the latest version, and pull in all of the 2.11.3-3 packages? Or, if 2.11.3-2 is the correct "most recent" package for Squeeze ia64.. http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libc6.1-dev then how did my DVD install with network mirrors automatically update libc6.1 to 2.11.3-3? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
