Hello Chainy, Thanks for the unstable lines to use - that did the job - I only had to do a little try on what to pass exactly In the end this did everything:
apt-get install -t unstable libdb1-compat libc6 libc6-dev locales - just passing every of the progs with dependency problems By the way, how did you find out you need those line in the sources.list? I tried to look it up on the net but I didn't find any info on it (keywords: debian apt-get "packages list" on Google) Thanks for all your input it's been very helpfull.
