Ok so this is my solution : Reinstall the debian distribution (i know : oh my god !)
and get package xlib6 (latest version) ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/oldlibs/xlib6_3.3.2-3.deb This version isn't conflict with libc6 You can also get libc5 (latest version) ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/oldlibs/libc5_5.4.38-1.deb You install the package and no depency problems will came :) Bye.
