I have a newly installed libranet 2.0 system (essentially woody). I am attempting to upgrade to xfree86-common=4.2.1-4 in hopes of getting my radeon 7500 to work better.
apt-get install xfree86-common=4.2.1-4 quickly runs into problems as it trys to upgrade libc. The error message is below Thanks in advance. R. Poyner E: Cannot get debconf version. Is debconf installed? (Reading database ... 32 files and directories currently installed.)
