94 > 3, so 2.1.94 > 2.1.3. 2.1.9x is the version of GNU libc from
unstable; it's been Having Issues [1], and so installing it might not
be the best thing to randomly try. It's probably a bug in the
backported KDE Potato debs if they depend on packages from Woody. Is
there libmng in Potato you can try?
[1] Does anybody else besides me remember the GNU libc 2.0
announcement? When they announced that it'd be the last libc upgrade
you'd ever need, and they were going to solve all of the binary
compatibility problems with the C library for ever and ever? Maybe
it's just me. <shrug>
