I also compiled the kernel against the updated libc6. How i mean the
problem, is that all Potato packages are compiled against the older
libc6. They work all fine and without trouble with the new libc6. But
not with best performance.

No, sorry! I saw it after updating the whole system to Woody by using
all the applications in X and XFree starts faster.

I did the libc6 update by this way: downloading the libc6 package by
hand from a debian mirror and then installed it with # dpkg -i libc6*.
In this case i needed to do nothing and could use apt-get for Potato
without problems. Exclude the Woody entry from sources.list and rerun
aptitude is the right way. And if apt-get like to downgrade to Potatos
libc6 you can edit your /var/lib/dpkg/available file and change the
entry of old version to new version. Then apt-get thinks there is no
old version available an will not downgrade.
