apt-get is being a pain in the u know where with libc6
Ok, i am trying to install this program that wants an upgraded version
of glibc6 (even though my current version of glibc6 will most likly work fine).
so APT-GET is complaining and trying to update glibc6 but i dont have the right kernel version and not enough disk space.
how do i install the package without upgrading glibc?
Apt-get doesn't suck ass. You don't know how to use it and you don't know what a bad idea trying to mix oldoldoldstable with stable is. You can't possibly expect things to work right.
I'm not sure if dpkg will let you downgrade packages, but you could manually download the woody .debs and use "dpkg -i" to install them. Try it.

i have been googling and cannot find the woody version of glibc in .deb only in source gz
and they said its hard to compile and takes a long time and that scared me .
