Consider me a newbie - trying to upgrade etch to lenny, getting msg about
having a non-dpkg owned copy of libc6-i686. "Can't live with it, can't live
without it". Can't remove it. Can't upgrade with what I have. Previously
I've done all installs and upgrades with apt-get. I started this system
with sarge, and successfully upgraded to etch a couple of years ago and have
kept etch upgraded. I've tried apt-get -f dist-upgrade and aptitude
dist-upgrade with same results.


Specific next steps, please?

Thanks! - John

What error do you get?

Non-dpkg (not from a deb) or non-apt (a local package)?
