One thing to keep in mind youre gonna be mixing up your version with stable, testing and unstable and there is a reason they are seperated :-) HTH Ack! I did mess up already! Something went wrong and the testing version of libncurses5 failed to install leaving the woody version removed. Now I am not even able to login, I get some error like: -bash: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /lib/libncurses.so.5) when I login. Nor are most of the commands able to execute. Thank God, I'm logged on with root as well as a user on 4 different terminals including and one running my MUA! I had to use links browser to open these mails for some reason still and none of the text browsers would run, thank God again that I somewhere had compiled links static! That's how I'm writing now Well, what am I to do now? apt-get is also giving some errors about not able to run /usr/bin/apt-listchanges ... failure running that script. glibc is already installed I can see. I better wouldn't have done this mess if I would have used somebackport version of what I needed :/ Please help!
