Newbie need cdrecord to be installed

Hi!

I run Debian Woody 3.0 with text only. No X-windows and no graphics.

When I run a "apt-get install cdrecord" command, I receive the following:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
cdrecord: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4) but 2.2.5-6 is to be installed
console-common: Depends: console-tools (>= 1:0.2.3dbs-54) but 1:0.2.3-23.3 is to be installed or
kbd
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-22) but 2.2.5-6 is to be installed
libdb1-compat: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5-13) but 2.2.5-6 is to be installed
libdb3: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4) but 2.2.5-6 is to be installed
libnss-db: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-21) but 2.2.5-6 is to be installed
locales: Depends: glibc-2.3.2.ds1-22
make: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4) but 2.2.5-6 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

What do I need to do to get it installed properly.

TIA

If you have aptitude(apt-get install aptitude) installed you can use aptitude --with recommends install cdrecord. Or check what packages cdrecord depends on with command apt-cache depends cdrecord and try installing them one at a time 1st until you get no more errors. Good luck.

I would take the line in your sources.list out for whatever repository you have in there that is using the libc6 that is not for the woody distro use apt-get update and apt-get install cdrecord then it should install.

Strange...

I did run as you suggested, but end up with as follows:

I must say that I'm totally in the dark here.

You have stable in the lines in the sources.list woody is the old stable now, it is trying to get packages for sarge which is now the stable version, try woody in the lines and see how it goes or you may want to consider an apt-get dist-upgrade to install/upgrade to the sarge packages.

Before trying dist-upgrade please read the debian woody to sarge upgrade instructions at debian site.http://www.debian.org/releases/stabl...rading.en.html It is not a one step deal.

By the way the last version of cdrecord has a significant improvement : you don't have to bother with scsi names (dev=x,y,z scanbus and so on) ; you can simply burn with /dev/cdrom, and even with nothing : cdrecord foo.iso for instance.

I also suggest upgrading to Sarge from Woody. Sarge is the stable branch currently and you will get backports for Sarge with the latest package versions.

I believe that cdrecord is one of those which have undergone a lot of improvements and it might be much more reliable than older versions.

Tried to add aptitude, but everything seems to end up with the same problem. I've checked the sources.list.

See below:

debian:~# dpkg -l aptitude

|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

My sources.list looks like below:

I'm stuck here. Don't know what I need to do now.
