The outpur is given bellow:-
client:/home/student# apt-get install dpkg
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dpkg: PreDepends: libc6 (>= 2.6) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7 is to be installed
PreDepends: xz-utils but it is not going to be installed
locales: Depends: glibc-2.11-1
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
