Thank you for looking into this, everyone. I do appreciate it working
correctly.

Here is the extreme steps I took to fix "my" problem. It is not reasonable that
the average person would be assumed to know this (something is broken and it's
not my fault ;) ), but here it is for the sake of documentaion ...

# wget

# dpkg -i binutils_2.17cvs20070426-7_i386.deb
Preparing to replace binutils 2.17-3 (using
binutils_2.17cvs20070426-7_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement binutils ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of binutils:
 binutils depends on libc6 (>= 2.5-5); however:
  Version of libc6 on system is 2.3.6.ds1-13.
dpkg: error processing binutils (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 binutils

# apt-get install libc6
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
libc6 is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  binutils: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-5) but 2.3.6.ds1-13 is to be installed


--- NFG ! --- So instead do this.

That is "as fixed" as it gets. _Unless_ you have some advice to offer.
