I installed Debian-3.1 on that machine, and when asking apt to install something, it should look into Sarge's online repositories - and as far as I know Sarge was < i586 (i386 as far as I know). So why after all does installing autossh lead to the installation of another libc6 package, and furthermore where does the i686 version come from? - As far as I know even Lenny is still compiled for i586 or even earlier. I just know from other distributions that there are several versions of libc to be able to use e.g. SSE2 for memcpy on CPUs which can do that, but all I know have fallback-versions for older CPUs. Even Fedora11 will still be completly i586 compatible. Thanks, Clemens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
