libc6 corresponds to GNU libc 2.x (glibc) try "info libc" (or one of the debian tools) to find out if you have glibc >= 2.1.x. older versions (2.0.x) are not threadsafe (I think it was supposed to be, but there are bugs). i.e. info libc yields (on my system): This is Edition 0.07 DRAFT, last updated 4 Oct 1996, of `The GNU C Library Reference Manual', for Version 2.00 Beta of the GNU C Library. (but it's better to check the packages, because the manual might be outdated). -- Felix Natter
