debian-user@lists.debian.org would be more appropriate.

You seem to be trying to install lilo from testing/unstable. That
version is the one that depends on libc6 >= 2.2.5-13, the version in
stable depends on >= 2.2.4-4. Please doubleckeck your
/etc/apt/sources.list for entries about testing, sarge, unstable or sid,
and remove them.

The packages pages are correct, your system seems to be the problem.
Have fun,

There are many times when you want it to ignore the rest of the string just
like atof() does. Oddly enough, Perl calls atof(). How convenient. :-)
