For some reason, apt doesn't want to upgrade libc6 automatically.  Try an
`apt-get install libc6`; it'll probably just go right through, but you
may get some warnings that point at why apt wanted to leave it alone.
You should upgrade it, in any case.  The current stable version is
2.2.2-4, so I'm not even sure that 2.1.3-18 is still available.
