Yes. You were all right. So...

I downloaded libc6-dev => requires libc6
(I had libc6 but in a newer version so I now need to downgrade it):

rulix:/home/eg# dpkg -i  libc6-dev_2.2.5-11.2_i386.deb  libc6_2.2.5-11.2_i386.deb

Seems like another package is interested the overwrited file.
Should I force dpkg to install it ?
