potato IS glibc2.1 based.

potato IS unstable, potato is the codename for the next stable 
release of debian it will probably be called debian 2.2.

edit /etc/apt/apt.sources and change all instances of `stable' with `unstable'

then run apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade

I had very bad results when attempting this however, YMMV, but i had 
to install potato directly,the upgrade just did not work for me.
