Hack and / - Browse the Web without a Trace

It sure would be nice if this worked as easily as you outlined in the article. When I followed your instructions, I am greeted with a message in synaptic telling me that, by selecting to install tor, I must upgrade a number of other packages. When I try to upgrade, the progress meter stops at libc and I have to expand the details to see why it stopped. There, I am met with a prompt asking me if I want to upgrade libc now. I say yes, but it doesn't matter if I say no since the installation will just stop at that point. Selecting yes attempts to install libc, but errors out with this message:
Another copy of the C library was found via /etc/ld.so.conf.
It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation;
please remove the directory from /etc/ld.so.conf and try again.

I've tried unsuccessfully to install tor and privoxy, but nothing seems to work... ideas?
