Subject: libc6-dev: Unable to install package
Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
*** Please type your report below this line ***
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 4.0
APT prefers stable
APT policy: (500, 'stable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-amd64
Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
When I run the following command
apt-get install libc6-dev
I get the following error message:
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7) but 2.7-13 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
The output of the uname -a command is as follows:
Linux leiafish 2.6.18-6-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 16 22:30:01 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Version of libc6: 2.7-13
Any help you give me will be appreciated.

You have a testing/unstable libc6 on a stable system. Installing the
stable libc6-dev is thus impossible as it does not match your libc6.
Either downgrade libc6 to stable or upgrade your system to
testing/unstable.
This is a user error, closing this bug.
