Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.6.ds1-13) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch4 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Are not the versions the same ?
Even i can not remove libc6 ,this result :

Which Debian are you using - testing, unstable?

try

#aptitude update
#aptitude safe-upgrade

Then, open aptitude:

#aptitude

.. Search for 'libc6-dev' and check what kind of dependencies are listed.

Maybe it'll be necessary to upgrade the distro to fix the dependencies completely, the ones that are not upgrade using just 'apt-get upgrade':

#aptitude dist-upgrade

If the DVD has an earlier version you will have some trouble downgrading libc6. If the DVD has newer versions then all you have to do is:

apt-get install libc6

Then you can install libc6-dev

Have you tried #apt-get remove --purge libc6-dev ?

Also, You could try to remove the others libc6 libraries using the syntax above, then try to install again.

If it wants the version 2.3.6.ds1-13 of libc6 to work, like it is specified in the message shown by you:
"libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.6.ds1-13) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch4 is to be installed", you shoul try the following:

It's likely to work if you force the installation of this version.

First of all, download the package here: http://packages.debian.org/etch/libc6

Then, in the folder where the downloaded packade is located, you type: # dpkg --force "the_package's_name"

Finally, you can try install libc6-dev again: # apt-get install libc6-dev
