It seems to be bug #421581 which is fixed in Sid. You could try to
install the Sid version of gtk-qt-engine or wait until it comes to
Lenny. You can probably also temporarily uninstall gtk-qt-engine if you
want to upgrade libc6 now without putting Sid packages on your system.
(Using dpkg with --force-overwrite should also allow you to install the
new version of libc6, but I would avoid resorting to --force-* unless
absolutely necessary.)
