Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm using 64bit kernel :

Linux tinpatrick 6.12.16-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.16-1 (2025-02-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I think this 32bit lib is used for steam...

Yes, I really need to backup my stuff...

In addition to backing up your data, you probably should think about moving it to a system that has continued support for the kernel and maybe a system that isn't changing as rapidly as ceres.

Which kernel are you using? Did you manage to get the last one before they removed the 32-bit kernels from ceres? I believe that was 6.10.9. Do you have an alternate strategy for dealing with kernel patches? If so, those of us with old machines would like to know more.

What did you fear? Dataloss? If so do redundant backups!

OK done,

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.41-2_i386.deb

apt-get -f install

with no problem, I did fear a lot while this comp is full a important data for me.

Thanks

Probably it gets sorted with an initial

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.41-2_i386.deb

or if you use --force-all rather than --force-overwrite.

Thereafter follow up with a new

apt-get -f install

But you should have a live disk at hand, just in case things go badly.

Hi,

I got this error :

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-NFWtHn/8-libc6_2.41-2_i386.deb
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

so I deleted /tmp/files, did a "apt --fix-broken install"

Gave me this :

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.41-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libc6', which is different from other instances of package libc6:i386
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.41-2_i386.deb
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So I stopped before a disaster and come here to get help
