The way I did it was to upgrade my libc5 to the latest package version
(i.e. from hamm) first.  (libc6 conflicts with earlier libc5 but not
latest packaging.)

Since writing this message, I find that there's a libc5-libc6 mini-FAQ.
See <http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html> or
get it from <ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/doc/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.txt>.

pjm.
