Phil is on the right track. libc5... is a base package and gets installed during the base system. the other thing you could try is to dpkg --help and take a look at the force and remove options. try not to install base packages as much as possible.
When installing debian you should look at the Packages file and "map" out a strategy on how you are going install the various packages. If you have something wrong with libc5... this file is considered the most important file on the system. If it is not working properly, you have serious problems. Good luck! I hope you still will you the debian distribution. It is one if not the most user-friendly distributons on the earth.
