This is a odd interaction between libc6 and APT's sequencing code, there
is a bug against libc6 to get the issue fixed so that potato to woody
upgrades work again..
In the mean time there are a couple options.. Probably the simplest is to
do 'apt-get -s install libc6' then take all the packages listed as 'Inst'
and install them by hand using dpkg with a single command.
Or you could try the experimental 0.4.1 APT from
http://klecker.debian.org/~jgg/apt
Or just wait for a new libc..
