Hth,
If you want to do that, *and* also be able to compile in a libc5
environment, there are a few packages meant to allow that by having an
alternative gcc and C library on the system: libc5-altdev, altgcc, and
libdl1-altdev (the only ones I've seen). I haven't tried these.
Hope this clarifie

that among its dependencies. You don't have libc6 installed on your
system, do you? That's my guess. So, you could install wn_1.17.0-5.deb
from stable, or start upgrading to libc6 and the packages in unstable.
You could submit a bug report on wn, too.
Does that fit with what you see on your system? Hope it helps,

downgrading gcc might allow you to back out of the libc6-dev
environment and go back to libc5-dev, straight up.
Hope that's somewhat clear,

He couldn't get xemacs to not overwrite the emacs-provided ones, and so
