G'day,

I've done a clean install of ubuntu 6.06 dapper. No LAMP, no X; just a
nice clean slate. After trying to install gcc, I recieved the
following:

root at ubuntu-server:/etc/apt# apt-get install build-essential
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  build-essential: Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or
                            libc-dev
                   Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.0) but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.0) but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5) but it is not going
to be installed
E: Broken packages


I recieve the same error with apt-get install gcc. Is there a genuine
bug for this? Below is my sources.list .
