You're right, libcrypt.so seems to be missing from 4.2.11 whereas it was part of 4.2.9. You can get it by doing: apt-get update apt-get install libc6-dev

Hmm, could this be a problem with the GPL for 4.2.11?

It is listing release/packages for 4.2.10 instead of 4.2.11.

Maybe you could try to remove libc6-dev using "apt-get remove libc6.dev" and re-installing it? As an alternative you could try to apt-get install aptitude aptitude download libc6-dev dpkg -i libc6-dev_2.7-18lenny2_i386.deb[/code

Unfortunately this suggestion did not work as well. I am also getting warnings about these packages cannot be authenticated. Is this a problem?

At this point would it be a good idea to do a factory reinstall and start afresh? In my naive efforts I may have missed some other important points. The system I'm working on is a new Pro which was upgraded to 4.2.11 with no add-ons installed. I've read the forum the as carefully as I could and used Mackila's instructions up to the point of running VboxManage which is were I've run into the missing libc6 problem.
