THis was all going wonderfully, when it decided to (apt-get) upgrade glibc
That should have been: # apt-get install glibc apt-get upgrade glibc just runs a normal update (of all packages). Thereagain, you already had glibc so I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve.
Failed during the process
what was the error?
, and now falls over when it has prepared the dependency tree.
You'll need to remove the existing package lists but only after you sort this out:
I had a guddle around with a copy of Knoppix and tried moving the various libraries to where they said they should live
??? Why?
, but still v flaky
No wonder if you start moving libraries to Knoppix locations. Have you kept any notes about where they should be moved back to?
and can't run apt-get
What error?
Where should I look next?
See if apt-cache is working. $ apt-cache search gnucash Look for problems in /var/cache/apt/ Check the permissions on pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin Should be -rw-r--r-- 1 root root Remove the package lists if this could be causing apt-get to stall. # apt-get update # apt-get clean If apt-get still isn't working, use a CD obtain it and install with dpkg. If that fails, you may have the dubious honour of being the first person I know who needed to reinstall Debian. :-( Ah, well, at least it makes up for all those times I had to reinstall Mandrake, RH, SuSE, Yoper, Slackware . . . . -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
