* Some packages like libc6-dev are old yet depended on by other packages not yet updated. In this particular case, I believe the new dependency is libc0.3-dev. However these dependencies may cause problems for apt. To circumvent these problems there are two general solutions.
* The first is to change the dependencies that apt looks at in the /var/lib/apt/lists/ directory. For example, you could modify libc0.3 to provide the missing libc6-dev package.
* Installing the "equivs" package and creating a dummy package is the second alternative. This will satisfy the apt dependency in a cleaner manner.
