See the version number. The xlib6 and xlib6-altdev packages are based
upon the XFree86 3.3.6 sources, which did not contain the Xpm libraries.
Your bug would be better filed against the xpm libc5 compatibility
packages, if they still exist.
If they don't, it's probably one more reason to consider pulling the
plug on xlib6{,-altdev}. An even better reason is that there have been,
ahem, security bugs fixed in the X libraries in XFree86 4.x but not
backported to the XFree86 3.3.6, which is not maintained upstream.
