that's not the file you need. Just to make sure, you did do 'sudo
updatedb' first?

Can you type:
$ dpkg --list build-essential

then
$ dpkg --list '*libc6*'

Look for a lines that mention libc6 and libc6-dev,
if they start ii they are installed
if they start un they're not.
Anything else then they may be partially installed.


Main should be enabled to start with.

Sorry if you allready told us this but what version of Ubuntu are you
using? 6.06 or 6.10?
