You are trying to install the nvidia-glx package from Sid (a.k.a. "unstable", the "bleeding edge, may break at any time" branch of Debian.) You have to install the 4.0r1 (Etch, "stable") version of the package; this one depends on the proper version of libc6. This is probably due to a misconfiguration of your package manager. Please post the content of the following two files: /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/preferences (The second file might not exist on your system; this is OK.) I would also like to see the output that you get from the following command: apt-cache policy nvidia-glx -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
