Can you tell why you'd have to upgrade libc6? Quickly looking at the sane
and libc6 packages that are currently in 'unstable' I don't see it.
It looks like you are trying to install a new libc6 package which
conflicts with old libstdc++2.8 packages. You could try to also upgrade
the libstdc++2.8 package to a newer version, but I don't know if that
would break other things.
