OK, that's the version that's waiting to be installed, as
the error indicates. Can you browse on the CD itself, to
/cdrom/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/
to see what version is there?
If it's the same, then there could be some problem with dependencies
on the CD. If it's different, you haven't successfully gotten
the CD recognized by apt. I have a woody source CD set which was
done just about the time woody released, with libc6=2.2.5-6,
so I'm betting it will be around there, unless it's a pre-release CD.
