First off, let me apologize if I misunderstood you. I'm in digest mode, and
so I can't see mail threads. I didn't see the posts that started this
thread. Your message sounded like you were experiencing the same problem I
did. The big question is, are you are installing or upgrading to slink?
That's the assumption I made. Because I installed slink, and subsequently
had the same libc6/libc6-dev conflicts you write about. The root of the
problem was that the file /etc/apt/sources.list points at "stable", which
currently means hamm. Of course when slink leaves frozen it will be stable,
and so the circuit will be shorted. 

If you change /etc/apt/sources.list to point at "frozen" (or "slink") and
then do an `apt-get update ; apt-get -f dist-upgrade`, you should be fine.

If you've got all hamm packages, then I don't know what's going on.

Good luck, and tell me/us what it was when you figure it out!
