Question Libc6 message stuff thingie..


Guys,

I'm trying to install Amsn (of all packages)
but when i do that this message appears:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-21) but 2.3.2.ds1-20 is to be installed

Now I get the point that my version of libc6 is to new and I have to install an older version, and now I get to my question:

How do I do that without harming other programs?

Thanks

Erwin

Actually, your libc6 needs to be upgraded to 2.3.2.ds1-21 from 2.3.2.ds1-20 (which is currently installed). Installing a new libc6 should be safe if you do it from your package manager.
