Listening to some dood at http://www.debianplanet.org/node.php?id=880
I ran:

dpkg -r libdb1-compat --force-depends=yes

In order to "prevent" the "conflict".

Now when I try to use apt-get I get:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: The package libc6 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

When I try to reinstall:

rulix:/home/eg/Packs# dpkg -i libc6_2.2.5-11.2_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 40485 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libc6 2.3.1-11 (using libc6_2.2.5-11.2_i386.deb) ...

dpkg: error while cleaning up:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 libc6_2.2.5-11.2_i386.deb

BTW anyone knows why can't I subscribe to debian-il's mailing list ?
    I begin to think this topic is quite offtopic

Thanks
