libc5 / libc6

["Liam Ward" <liam@dv4.com>]

Hi,

I am having problems with mp3enc (not a Debian package - commercial 
product) which wants libc5 libraries:


ldd mp3enc31
        libm.so.5 => not found
        libc.so.5 => not found

I am not mad enough to mess with libc versions lightly :-)

I decided to see if asking APT to install the libc5 package in 
simulate mode would suggest the removal of libc6 and it doesn't, 
which suggests I could simply install the libc5 package. However, I'm 
too scared to do it without checking that I'm not going to break 
everything.

Can anyone reassure me?

Thanks,

Liam
