I think you should be able to safely install libc6_2.2.5-14. Put unstable into /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get -s -t unstable libc6 "-s" will make apt-get simulate changes that would occur if you actually did the installation. If changes look OK, rerun apt-get without -s option. Keep track of what gets installed; if you later want to downgrade to the previous version of libc6, you can do so using apt's pin priorities or with dpkg with --force-downgrade option. -- Jerome
