Unusable Update for Stable
Hi!
Does anybody know why stable/updates/main on http://security.debian.org
has a package that depends on a libc that is not available for Stable?
That is there is a new libapache-mod-ssl that depends on libc6 (>=
2.3.1-1) but libc in Stable is at 2.2.5-11.2. 2.3.1-1 is still in
unstable.
I can only believe somebody made the mistake to package an update for
Stable on an Unstable machine, or a machine that had been "contaminated"
with Unstable packages that pulled in libc from Unstable.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libapache-mod-ssl: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1) but 2.2.5-11.2 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
