Thanks for your reply Aurelian, The machine that had this problem is gone (re-imaged). It was not setup by me. All other Debian 11 machines I have are OK having lib6-dev depending on installed lib6 2.31-13+deb11u4 (not u5 like that odd machine). I will ask which DVD image they use to install Debian 11 for the “odd” machine. Following are some info I had captured and I hope it helps. sources.list: deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free vigil@vigil:~$ apt show libc6-dev Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.31-13+deb11u4 Priority: optional Build-Essential: yes Section: libdevel Source: glibc Maintainer: GNU Libc Maintainers <debian-glibc@lists.debian.org> Installed-Size: 14.9 MB Provides: libc-dev Depends: libc6 (= 2.31-13+deb11u4), libc-dev-bin (= 2.31-13+deb11u4), linux-libc-dev, libcrypt-dev, libnsl-dev Suggests: glibc-doc, manpages-dev Conflicts: libc0.1-dev, libc0.3-dev, libc6.1-dev Breaks:

Both libc6 and libc6-dev are available in version 2.31-13+deb11u5 in bullseye-updates [1][2]. Which version of libc6 is currently installed on you system? What is the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list or related file(s)? You might want to try "sudo apt install libc6 libc6-dev" to see if you get a slightly different error message.
