I assume something is broken with your sources.list, do you have security in
it? -11.2 is in woody, -11.5 is a security update. Maybe run apt-get update
again in case your mirror is a little slow (-11.5 is from April...)

Both versions you are looking for are on auric, so they should be on the
mirrors, too.

I don't think libc6-dev is "used" by other programs, it is mainly a
dependency of other -dev packages. If you do not compile anything on your
box, I don't think you need it at all.
