I realise that libc6 is just about the most important package there is because just about everything depends upon it.

bash: sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite libc6_2.2.5-11.5_i386.deb

It simply dosent work, it tells me that bash/sh needs glibc and I have not found thie "GLIBC*".

any help?

The name of the deb file that I loaded from the testing sources onto my system when I did the apt-get was:

libc6_2.3.2_ds1-13_i386.deb

which can be found at http://packages.debian.org/testing/base/libc6

Does that give you the same problem?

Wasn't this issue resolved by
1. installing the dsl-dpkg.dsl,
2. installing the gnu-utils.dsl,
3. changing the apt-get sources to "unstable" ,
4. running "apt-get update"
5. running "apt-get install gcc g++ make "

That installs all the development files as well as libc6 ...
