apt-get and rpm fail on glibc-common[root@Sling root]# apt-get install glibc-common

[John David]

I rebuilt the rpm database, rebooted, upgraded apt (that worked), none of which
worked.  rpm also failed with the same error message

This really seems to be a problem with the package.  This is on a blue&white
g3, 128MB mem, 6BG hd.  Anyone else had this problem?
