Re: Apt problems
Chris,
I ran into this same problem after updating to the lastest
libc6_2.0.7r-2. The dependency in the latest apt is looking for
something >= 2.0.7pre1-0. I guess that it doesn't see 2.0.7r-2 as being
"greaterthan or equal to".<G>
Something was posted on this list a few days ago about this being
fixed in apt_0.0.17 (or some version like that). I have not yet seen
this available anywhere though.
