E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (1) on libc6

[silbro]

Hi all

I have a problem I cannot solve. I don't even understand what exactly the problem seems to be. What I wanted to do is install a zabbix-agent on a 8.06 Ubuntu server installation. I added a repository and commented all the others out so it will get the newest zabbix client. (This worked for me on a 32bit system, this is a 64 bit system though) I used this source

deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty main universe

what I then did is type

apt-get install zabbix-agent

it of course asked me if I want to install the packages needed and I say yes. It installed some packages and then stopped with an error saying:

Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libstdc++6

Then I tried again:

apt-get install zabbix-agent
Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libc6: Depends: findutils (>= 4.4.0-2ubuntu2) but 4.2.27-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
  zabbix-agent: Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: libopenipmi0 but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: ucf but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

so I did as it told me:

apt-get -f install

I also tried the following:

I'm kinda lost to what I should do. Because I have searched for that error and found some forum entries. I still don't understand where the problem seems to be. This is also a productive system, so I cannot experience till it crashes I'd be really really gratefull if someone can help me! thank you very much in advance.
