Apt-get :: Trouble installing libc6-dev

Trying to apt-get install libc6-dev into DSL 0.6.3 dsl-hdinstall.

Setting up libc6 (2.3.2.ds1-11)

(The date shown in the error always corresponds with the time that I attempt the apt-get)

I have correctly set date and time to local (CDT) with the date command.

What am I missing here?

Ok cmon peeps...has anyone figured out how to fix this...its freeking driving me nuts...and google has nothing on it either

When I had this error message, roberts suggested this.

1.) change sources.list from stable to unstable
2.) install gnu-utils.dsl

After an apt-get update, libc6 installed with
no more "time/date" errors....

This seemed to work better from a HDinstall, rather than liveCD.

I'm guessing it works the same for libc6-dev as libc6, since your error shows libc6...

Why do we have to use the unstable dpkg packages...I have stable, and testing both available but still get the errors

Will try this tonight..hopefully it will work

I successfully installed 'gcc' 'g++' 'make' from a
"LiveCD" of DSL 0.7.1

First installed gnu-utils.dsl and dsl-dpkg.dsl thru mydsl/emelfm
Changed 'stable' to 'unstable' in /etc/apt/sources.list
Ran 'apt-get update'
Ran 'apt-get install gcc g++ make'

Sure enough, one of the files it installed was the libc6-dev you
were looking for...

No dep hell, no errors..

So, either way, LiveCD or HDInstall, it works...
............thanks roberts.............

Now what? add Glib 2.0? and GTK 2?
Then DSL will compile just about everything
I wanted on my wish list ....
