I am having a problem with dpkg.
Does anyone know how to fix this ?

venus:/home/mark# dpkg -C
The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
 libdb1-compat The Berkeley database routines [glibc 2.0/2.1 compatibili

venus:/home/mark# dpkg --configure libdb1-compat
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libdb1-compat:
 libdb1-compat depends on libc6 (>= 2.2.5-13); however:
  Package libc6 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing libdb1-compat (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libdb1-compat
venus:/home/mark# dpkg -s libc6
Package: libc6
Status: install ok not-installed
Priority: required
Section: base
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22
