Is this an Ubuntu question ? As far as I know Ubuntu does not support the
ARM architecture.

I have dillo installed here on both i386 and PPC architectures - in both
cases it installed through apt without any problem. Looking at the .deb
versions in your error message, I suspect that this is purely a Debian
issue.  For example:

$ dpkg -l libc6* | grep ^ii
ii  libc6           2.5-0ubuntu14  GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii  libc6-dev       2.5-0ubuntu14  GNU C Library: Development Libraries
and Hea 
ii  libc6-i686      2.5-0ubuntu14  GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i686

$ dpkg -l libgtk1.2 | grep ^ii
ii  libgtk1.2      1.2.10-18      The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets for X


Perhaps this is the wrong list for your question?
