so today I was trying to install testing mysql-server and I think I messed couple of things up..
here is what df returns:
bigmonster:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 -3159243779106k 1.0k 0.0k 7% / bigmonster:~#
Here is what apt-cache policy libc6 return: bigmonster:~# apt-cache policy libc6 libc6: Installed: 2.3.2.ds1-16 Candidate: 2.3.2.ds1-16 Version Table: *** 2.3.2.ds1-16 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.2.5-11.5 0 500 ftp://ftp.us.debian.org stable/main Packages 500 ftp://ftp.debian.org stable/main Packages 500 ftp://ftp.lug.udel.edu stable/main Packages 500 ftp://linux.csua.berkeley.edu stable/main Packages 500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages bigmonster:~#
and here is what I get when I try to install locales: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: locales: Depends: glibc-2.2.5-11.5 E: Sorry, broken packages
I need locales for mysql-server I believe.
but I think what I have successfully done is.. confused apt-get big time and now apt-get is not so happy with me.
can anyone help me to get my df back to normal? and apt-get too. .
thanks a lot in advance..
Reinstall woody :)
You can fix apt-get by removing locales and everything that depends on it.
You can try --reinstall --force-downgrade libc6 down to Woody, but I wouldn't recommend it, as libc6 is such an essential package.
As for df, ditch it, apt-get install stat, and use 'stat -f /' instead of 'df /'.
Thanks for the responses guys.. SO I have decided to stick with woddy.. sorry..
Can anyone please help me fix apt-get? Is there any way I can force it to get EVERYTHING again? in stable?
Thanks again for ur help in advance.
Regards, Paul
