Which conflict is this, exactly?  In my packages file I see:

  libc6 depends on ldso >= 1.8.10-1 and conflicts with libpthread0 <= 0.5-10
  libpthread0_0.6-1 depends on libc5 >= 5.4.0.0

So, was it libpthread0?  That is the only dependency path from libc6
to libc5 that I have found.  Do you need libpthread0?

Indeed.  I expect that once you install the libc5 from hamm, you're
on the road to altdev.
