Libc6
I want to use graphicmagick on my Debian Sarge installation so that I can again get Xastir maps woorking (I'm not having any joy with Imagemagick). Graphicmagick requires libc6 2.3.6 but libc6 2.3.2 is installed and appears to be the latest stable version. Libc6 2.3.6 is in testing.
Can anyone advise on the the advisability or otherwise of attempting to install the version of libc6 from the testing repositiry?

Ray,
You could consider upgrading to all of 'testing' (aka etch). It is nearly ready for release and you should not encounter any real problems.
Just upgrading individual packages from etch is not encouraged.
