Still, the fact that libc5-5.4.33-7 conflicts with libc5-dev means that
I have to break C, tcl, ncurses, and slang development (on my system)
in order to install just the libc6 library.  So libc5 in bo and hamm
need to be fixed.  Agreed?

In my case my first phase of upgrading is to install mutt only (needs
libc6) and leave the development environment the same as bo.  I can
afford to break utmp, but not libc5-dev.

But I think my other post specifies a solution (a solution for utmp
AND development).  Has anyone found any problems with it??  (Beside
David who correctly points out that conflicting with libc5-dev is
completely unnecessary as all libc*-dev packages should provide and
conflict with the virtual package libc-dev.)
