Question on libc5 5.4.33-5

["G. Kapetanios" <gk205@cus.cam.ac.uk>]

Hi,


I am trynig to upgrade my libc5 to 5.4.33-5 from unstable 
When  I do dpkg it tries to replace libc5-dev with libc5-altdev . However
stuff dependes on libc5-dev and dpkg doesn't know that libc5-altdev
contains the same stuff as libc5-dev . So it crushes I tried to remove
anything that dependes on libc5-dev before changing to libc5-altdev but
but I get an unspecifief post-installation error when I try to replace
libc5-5.23 with libc5-33.3-5

Any help would be appreciated 
                                 thanks
                                 George
