The "6" is the major version number of the library itself. In this case that corresponds to the "6" in "X11R6", which has nothing to do with the versioning of the Linux/GNU C Library. libXt can be compiled against just about any C Library -- libc5, libc6, etc. To determine which version of the C Library your libXt.so.6 is compiled against, run the ldd command on its absolute pathname. Don't just say "ldd libXt.so.6"; if you have more than one libXt on your system, that might tell you about the wrong one. If you need X libraries linked against libc5 -- for instance, to run old applications that are libc5-based, install the xlib6 package from the oldlibs section. xlib6 3.3.2.3a-11 shared libraries required by libc5 X clients xlib6g 3.3.2.3a-11 shared libraries required by X clients -- G.
