Thanks to all who responded:  Remco Blaakmeer, Scott Ellis, Carlos Martinez,
liiwi@dlc.fi and Phillipe Troin.  Your kindness is appreciated very much.

Scott Ellis advised putting /usr/lib/libc5-compat line beneath the
/usr/X11R6/lib line in the /etc/ld.so.conf file.  This was done.

A slight modification of Phil's suggestion worked for me.

I did a locate XKeysymDB and found the file in the /usr/X11/lib directory. 
Then I made a soft link as follows:

ln -s /usr/X11/lib/XKeysymDB /usr/X11R6/lib/locale

Now both Mosaic and nedit work normally for me using the -6.deb versions of
the packages.

Cheers,

Victor
