You are trying to install the nvidia-glx package from Sid (a.k.a.
"unstable", the "bleeding edge, may break at any time" branch of
Debian.) You have to install the 4.0r1 (Etch, "stable") version of the
package; this one depends on the proper version of libc6.
This is probably due to a misconfiguration of your package manager.
Please post the content of the following two files:
/etc/apt/sources.list
/etc/apt/preferences
(The second file might not exist on your system; this is OK.)
I would also like to see the output that you get from the following
command:
apt-cache policy nvidia-glx
