I'm getting everything from the site you are using and everything is OK.

This is very odd.  I'm showing 2.2.4-1 as the libc6.

First of all, are you upgrading a stable distribution ? If so you
should really do :

   apt-get dist-upgrade

or maybe try upgrading libc6 by itself, i.e.

   apt-get install libc6

and then try upgrading.
