libc6 dependency probl;em in dapper

[Tony Arnold]

I've just tried doing a dist-upgrade on my dapper trial system that I've
not touched for several weeks. It's hit a problem in that libc6-i686 is
dependent on libc6 (=2.3.5-ubuntu17), however, libc6_2.3.6-0ubuntu9 is
actually installed.

There seem to be quite a few packages that depend on libc6, so removing
does not seem to be an option.

I've tried the -f install option to apt-get, but to no avail.

Anyone else seen this problem? Any suggestions for a workaround?

Regards,
Tony.
