Below is the output (error msg at end) from my execution of 'apt-get install libc6' after doing 'apt-get clean' & 'apt-get update'. My sources.list uses the "sarge" distribution for all active lines.
I get the same error (cryptic to me) when I try 'apt-get install tzdata' and even 'apt-get -f install'.
Any clues...?
Thanks,
Ron
