You can try the following:

Replace your libc6 package with the potato version using dpkg -i with
the --force-depends option.

Then do 

apt-get -f install 

with your apt-get sources pointing to potato.  

I did this on a mixed potato/woody system to remove libc6 and packages
which depended on it from my system and replace them with potato
packages.

I can not guarantee it to work but that is how I got a pure potato
system back.  If I now want to use woody packages, I use apt-get
source.
