SA-Exim users, I'm using Marc's (sa-)exim4 Debian package on my machines running the stable "woody" distribution. The problem is that the current stable libc6 is version 2.2.5-11.2, but the "exim4_i386.deb" here: http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/files/exim4_i386.deb wants 2.2.5-14.3, which happens to be the current version from "testing" distribution. As an q&d workaround, I installed it like this: dpkg --install --ignore-depends=libc6 exim4_i386.deb and sa-exim works fine, but now dselect is very unhappy. It won't let me do anything else (unless I switch from "exim4" back to "exim") because the dependency rules were broken. Is there an easy way for me to rebuild the package to just depend on the stable libc6 - or is this something you could fix, Marc? It would make the package more useful to those of us trying to stay with the stable code. If this is a misguided question, other Debian users please suggest to me what my best strategy is. Should I have just built from source and stayed out of the way of the Debian packages? I'm afraid to switch to "testing" since I've always just run the "stable" distribution. If I change to "testing" in "source.list", dselect will want to upgrade all packages to the "testing" version, right? Ugh.
