Not without a woody line in sources.list, it won't - he downloaded the
packages individually and dpkg -i'd them. Of course, since you (Michael)
did that, you might as well just grab libstdc++2.10-dev from woody and
install that to fix your dependency problem.
Debian doesn't strictly support mixing versions of the distribution as
far as I know, though the dependencies are usually such that it isn't a
problem. Sometimes it's possible to temporarily change your sources.list
to point at woody, update, 'apt-get install packagename', point your
sources.list back at potato, and update again. Whether this is a good
idea for libc6 I think I'll leave to experimentation.
