Debian 6 (squeeez) is far beyond not supported. It went EOL in 2014, and
the LTS support died out in 2016.
Even Debian 7 (wheezy) is no longer supported. That went EOL in 2016, and
LTS is going EOL in a month.
The oldest Debian that Apertium as a project supports is 8 (jessie), and
that's falling out of support in ~3 months.
None of our code is expected to compile or run on distros older than Debian
8 (soon 9), Ubuntu 14.04, or CentOS 7.
If you choose to stay on a distro whose long term support ended over 2
years ago, that really is your own choice and responsibility. If nothing
else, you should upgrade to get current security updates.
