Where did you get the packages you're installing?  Most of the new
packages depend on libc5, the ELF libc.  It should have been installed
when you upgraded to Debian 1.1.  If you have old packages which
depend on libc4, and you still need to use for some reason, you can
get the libc4 (not libc4-dev) package from the development tree.  It
provides libc4 binary compatibility.
