    Cannot install libc6 package

    I was trying to install libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.1_i386.deb but it is giving following errors:

    Code:
    root anchit-desktop:/home/anchit/Desktop# dpkg -i libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.1_i386.deb 
    dpkg: considering removing belocs-locales-bin in favour of libc6 ...
    dpkg: no, cannot proceed with removal of belocs-locales-bin (--auto-deconfigure will help):
     locales depends on belocs-locales-bin (>= 2.4-2.2ubuntu2)
      belocs-locales-bin is to be removed.
    dpkg: regarding libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.1_i386.deb containing libc6:
     libc6 conflicts with belocs-locales-bin
      belocs-locales-bin (version 2.4-2.2ubuntu7) is present and installed.
    dpkg: error processing libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.1_i386.deb (--install):
     conflicting packages - not installing libc6
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.1_i386.deb

    I am new to linux. So Please tell in detail how to resolve this bug.

    Thanks a lot...

    Yours is not an uncommon problem, unfortunately, See Ubuntu: New GNU C Library packages fix security issues | freshmeat.net
    Also, it is best not to try to install deb packages or tarballs downloaded from a website,but to use either Synaptic or the apt-get command in all its wonderful glory from the command line.

    I would suggest this primer, A Concise apt-get / dpkg primer for new Debian users | All about Linux

    Best wishes for an excellent Linux experience!
