giving up frustrated ... :-(

[Roland Goretzki]

Hi at all,

since many weeks now I would like to use lilypond 2.6.x on my debian
system, but with autopacke there was a problem concerning the guile
version.

Now, after completely new installing a clean debian sarge 3.1 system
(from printemps 2004) there still remaines the following problem:

executing
address@hidden:~/noten/2.3.6.1$ ./lilypond-2.6.3.1-upgrade.x86.package

there appears the following:

  # Preparing: LilyPond
  # Checking for required C library versions ... passed
  # Checking for FreeType font library ... passed
  # Checking for Standard C++ library ... passed
  # Checking for Glib Utility Library ... passed
  # Checking for Python language runtime ... passed
  # Checking for zlib compression library ... passed
  # Checking for Pango ... passed
  # Checking for Guile ... failed
  # FAIL:
  # Package 'Guile' was found but was of the wrong version and the correct 
version could not be located.
  # 
  # [IV 1.67 for @gnu.org/guile]
  FAIL:  Unable to prepare package LilyPond.

Trying to install 
  guile-1.6_1.6.7-1.1_i386.deb
with dpkg -i results in the following error:

  dpkg: regarding libc6_2.3.5-6_i386.deb containing libc6:
   libc6 conflicts with e2fsprogs (<< 1.35-7)
    e2fsprogs (version 1.34+1.35-WIP-2004.01.31-1) is installed.
  dpkg: error processing libc6_2.3.5-6_i386.deb (--install):
   conflicting packages - not installing libc6
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   libc6_2.3.5-6_i386.deb

I'm not able to solve these problems, and so I tend to give up, not
willing to work with lilypond further in the older version, regarding
that there might be too much to change later, because the tool
convert-ly only succeeds if there are not too many tweakings in the
score. :-(

Nevertheless, I'd be glad about a helpful hint.

Best Regards           Roland
