well I tried this from the link... apt-get -t experimental install libc6-amd64 libc6-dev libc6-dbg and it said...

Code: Select all

Package libc6-amd64 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libc6

E: Unable to locate package apt-get
E: Unable to locate package install
E: Package 'libc6-amd64' has no installation candidate

part of what I don't understand is, after enabling"experimental" which shows up in the repo list as enabled in synaptic. when I do a refresh, nothing shows up at all as upgradable. shouldn't something be experimental?

I don't use synaptic, but my guess is that it is a wise, safety move on synaptic's part.
To install anything from experimental, user must call it ir apt-get -t experimental.

A good idea IMO.

What does apt-get -t experimental upgrade (or dist-upgrade) show?

Try commenting out the wheezy and testing debian repos and add/use unstable

the only testing repo enabled is the one in antix.list and when you say add use unstable do you mean just the words use unstable or uncommenting the unstable repos?

Well it seems that the glibc 2.14 and later package isn't in experimental after all or if it is it has changed its name.

 the system. This package includes shared versions of the standard C library
 and the standard math library, as well as many others.
Multi-Arch: same

so an apt-get install -t experimental libc6 should get it.
