Er generally you just do as it says, apt-get -f install and it will magically figure it out, unless things have become so tangled that a solution is not apparent [this is really rare though]. In that case you must add packages to install by hand after the 'install' until things are better. Sounds to me like you just need to install libc6 and libdb2. Jason
