in Debian

Problem: Good old Debian only uses glibc2.1, and you have
something that needs 2.2. Apt-get insists you have the newest
version.
Solution: Tell apt-get to get it from a different, but compatable
distribution, namely progeny. Progeny is a new dist of debian, with
many new features, including a new version of libc6.
1. Add a line to the top of the /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb
http://archive.progeny.com/progeny main contrib
2. Run the command: # apt-get update
3. Run the command: # apt-get upgrade libc6
4. Let it do anything it suggests
