Debian's "unstable" dist is using libc6 2.2.2 ...
Quick and dirty dist upgrade:
$ sed s/stable/unstable/ /etc/apt/sources.list > ~/sources.new
$ sudo cp ~/sources.new /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install apt-utils; echo "glad I did that first\n"
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
