      dpkg: regarding libc5_5.4.33-7.deb containing libc5:
       libc5 conflicts with libc5-dev
        libc5-dev (version 5.4.33-6) is installed.

You can remove libc5-dev, and also, you shouldn't need to install any *-dev
unless you are going to compile you own programs. The gimp works without any
*-dev and I would assume must debian packages are same.

      ...should i install libc6-dev 2.0.5c-0.1 first?
