libc* contains the standard libraries that are used by multiple programs
on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to
ease upgrades, common system code is kept in one place and shared
between programs. The most important sets of shared libraries, the
standard C library and the standard math library are included. Without
these, a Linux system will not function.

libc6 is an updated version of the libc5 libraries, and, unfortunately,
they are not compatible.

Slackware still uses libc5 and Debian has just released the first stable
glibc2 distribution (libc6)
