That's the reward of naively trusting unstable/woody.  There have been
new libc6 packages uploaded which make it necessary to recompile lots
of other packages.  Woody has ceased being compatible with Potato.

 I dit an apt-get remove and apt-get install of libc6, still not working.
 
Remove the unstable/woody entry from /etc/apt/sources.list and
reinstall the Potato libc6 versions.  It is eventually necessary to
get them via FTP and install them manually with dpkg -i *.deb
because apt-get can't handle downgrades (this will change some time).

   Cheers, P. *8^)

 I dit an apt-get remove and apt-get install of libc6, still not working.

the following thing worked for me (tk told me the whole thing on #debian):

---
tk I downgraded the libc in the following order:
libdb2_2.4.14-2.7.7.1.c.deb, libc6*.deb locales_2.1.3-13_i386.deb, all the
files need to be downloaded locally. If apt/dpkg complains about ldconfig,
you need to download ldso_1.9.11-9.deb, do dpkg -x ldso*.deb foo  cp
foo/sbin/ldconfig.new /sbin/ and retry
---

Install the downloaded .deb files with
dpkg -i

you should be able to find most of files on
ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/potato/updates/main/
otherwise search in potato.

hope this helps!

For those unfortunate who managed to do the upgrade and now wish to
downgrade, the same information is available at

It may or may not work for you, no guarantees.
