Do you have a source for stable in your /etc/apt/sources.list?
The stable (woody) libc6 is 2.2.5-11.2, way beyond what apt
thinks you're trying to install.
Maybe you need to apt-get update, with the woody CD #1 in the drive.
I haven't done any CD installs, so I'm just guessing here. But apt-get
update performed on the network downloads a list of the version numbers
of all the packages. It needs to understand you want a newer version.
