You are right, the versions of libc6:amd64 and libc6:i386 have to be the  
same.

I think you have manually installed a libc6 version from testing. The best
solution is to downgrade the testing version to the wheezy version. Try
apt-get install --reinstall libc6=2.13-38+deb7u7
or use synaptic to get the version right.

success,
