Read the Libc5 to Libc6 mini-HOWTO that is posted to this list regularly.
One really important thing: do not force dpkg to install or remove
anything. The dependancies and conflicts are there for a reason. There
have already been many that screwed up by forcing dpkg to do not-so-smart
things. I am one of them, but I upgraded before the HOWTO was written, so
I can't be blamed for not reading it ;-)
