libc dependency problem.
Hello all.
I am experiencing a dependency problem with testing distribution.
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
I am trying to upgrade my potato distro to get the latest KDE.
after I type apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, here is my error message:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
debianutils: PreDepends: libc6 (>= 2.1.97) but 2.1.3-18 is to be installed
E: Internal Error, InstallPackages was called with broken packages!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Is there something that I'm doing wrong. Should I try a different site to
pull the update from ?
debian:/etc/apt# dpkg -l libc6
