conflict in debian packages
- by Alaa Alomari
I have Debian 4 server (i know it is very old)
cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 \n \l
I have the following in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ stable main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
apt-get upgrade

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
libt1-5: Depends: libc6 (= 2.7) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch10+b1 is installed
locales: Depends: glibc-2.11-1 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
Now it shows that i have Debian 6!!
cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 \n \l
EDIT
I have tried
apt-get update
