Getting started How-To

I'm running T38 (waiting to upgrade to T45 until a long operation finishes and I'll be able to restart without interrupting it) but have been unable to use apt-get to install any of the *-dev packages. The gcc and gdb bits installed w/o any issues.

apt-get install libc6-dev

Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 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. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge6) but 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge6.infrant1 is to be installed E: Broken packages

apt-get install libtag1-dev

I get the impression that there are same or newer versions of vendor specific packages installed, but not apparently what the dependency checks of apt-get are wanting. So before I try and force it, I figured it would be a good idea to check first. :D
