With 'unstable' I'm getting an increasingly large number of packages being held back (seemingly on 'libc') and was wondering whether I'd messed something up (eg when experimenting with 'apt-cacher' and generally trying to get a new box up and running 'unstable'). Any advice on the below output or other poss causes of prob most welcome. Thanks, M
Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: xscreensaver: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1) but 2.3.2.ds1-22 is to be installed Depends: libxinerama1 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libxml2 (>= 2.6.21) but 2.6.20-1 is to be installed Depends: libxxf86misc1 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libxxf86vm1 but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages Package: libc6 Priority: required Section: libs Installed-Size: 16752 Maintainer: GNU Libc Maintainers <debian-glibc@lists.debian.org> Architecture: i386 Source: glibc Version: 2.3.5-8 Replaces: ldso (<= 1.9.11-9), timezone, timezones, gconv-modules, libtricks, libc6-bin, netkit-rpc, netbase (<< 4.0) Provides: glibc-2.3.5-3 Suggests: locales, glibc-doc Conflicts: strace (<< 4.0-0), libnss-db (<= 2.2-6.1.1), timezone, timezones, gconv-modules, libtricks, libc6-doc, libc5 (<< 5.4.33-7), libpthread0 (<< 0.7-10), libc6-bin, libwcsmbs, apt (<< 0.3.0), libglib1.2 (<< 1.2.1-2), netkit-rpc, wine (<< 0.0.20031118-1), cyrus-imapd (<< 1.5.19-15), initrd-tools (<< 0.1.79), e2fsprogs (<< 1.35-7), libterm-readline-gnu-perl (<< 1.15-2) Filename: pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.3.5-8_i386.deb Size: 5056026 MD5sum: 2954239c202f4ca0861cbc4142f145f5 Description: GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone data Contains the standard libraries that are used by nearly all programs on the system.
