  How should I install libc6 ?

The way I did it was to upgrade my libc5 to the latest package version
(i.e. from hamm) first.  (libc6 conflicts with earlier libc5 but not
latest packaging.)

Since writing this message, I find that there's a libc5-libc6 mini-FAQ.
See http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html or
get it from ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/doc/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.txt.

pjm.

No, you must first upgrade libc5.

The full instructions are in the libc5-libc6 mini HOWTO, currently to be
found in Developers' Corner at hhtp://www.debian.org.  

You can also use autoup.sh (same location) to do the process automatically.
(If you download by ftp, get the packages first.)

   How should I install libc6 ?
  
   Thank's!

  P.S. I don't have too much experience with librarys! :-((
