Whilst trying to upgrade using the ftp method to the latest stable release (i.e. rex-fixed a.k.a. Debian-1.2.2) I have the following conflicts:
dungeon depends on libc5 (>= 5.4.17-1) abuse depends on libc5 (>= 5.4.17-1) filerunner depends on libc5 (>= 5.4.17-1) xfig depends on libc5 (>= 5.4.17-1) cthugha depends on libc5 (>= 5.4.17-1) This was from both my local mirror and a similar message from ftp.debian.org. On Sat 11 Jan 1997 I tried to install a machine from scratch which failed miserably due to dependency problems - I couldn't catch the output but part of the problem was as above and part was a LaTeX problem (appended).
