I'm on Debian 7 Wheezy.
It's a VPS, so I have limited opportunity to upgrade.
I tried to force an upgrade using "sudo apt-get -t testing install libc6-dev" but, because testing wasn't in the /etc/apt/sources.list, the upgrade failed.
Code:
The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
Adding 'testing' to the sources generated a whole lot of other issues, so I decided against that.
Code:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev : Breaks: binutils (< 2.26) but 2.22-8+deb7u3 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I need this working, so have decided to trash the server and reinstall something a little more current.
Thanks for taking the time...

PS, I tried QT 5.10, 5.8 and 5.71 all gave me issues of one kind or another.
Hopefully a clean install will sort it all out.
