Hi, I have a Debian 2.0 box, which I would like to upgrade to 2.1.
I have, some time ago, manually upgraded to libc6 v.2.1 because I
wanted to use mutt1.0.
Now if I follow instructions on:

it tells me to get: apt_0
I updated my X packages and ran into a problem: when rebooting xdm would not

I was left at the console prompt and had to type startx, and everything
worked fine.
Below is the error ouput when trying to update the X packages. This

somewhere?
