No. Yes. DON'T force it. Instead, go get the libc5 that Scott Ellis
has at ftp://ftp.gate.net/pub/users/storm . That libc5 does not
conflict with libc6 and will allow you to complete the upgrade.
This is mentioned in the HOWTO, btw. The HOWTO may be found at
http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html .
Good luck,
