I think you need to read the Debian libc5 to libc6 Mini-HOWTO posting which
appears every week or so on this list, thanks to Scott Ellis. You need to
complete the process of installing libc6. This involves upgrading several
libc5-compatible libraries so that they can co-exist with libc6.

6.2.1, compiled with libc6 headers. I'm hoping to upload a Debian package of
it tomorrow; it's being tested now.

Fixed, thanks. (I never got the mail, but I had a whole lot of trouble with
mail a couple of days back and lost a whole chunk down a black hole.)
