Why not install sysvinit 2.75 - since that is the minimum
needed for libc6_2.0.7u
                Then upgrade libc6
                The if upgrade sysvinit.

                        Well, the command and output are as follows:

                        -------------

                        [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftp$] dpkg -i libc6_2.0.7u-6.deb 

                        dpkg: regarding libc6_2.0.7u-6.deb containing libc6:

                        Looks like dependence problem. I just don't know how
to avoid
                        it. Hope someone can figure it our for me. Thanks
very much for 
                        your kind help.
