That's the reward of naively trusting unstable/woody. There have been
new libc6 packages uploaded which make it necessary to recompile lots

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).
