Set your sources.list back to stable, then

apt-get install libc6/stable

Use (run that command with the -s option as well first, to make sure=20
that apt doesn't do anything too drastic to your system).=20

To install the latest version of libxml2 (if you need it) get the source=20
code from unstable, then recompile it on stable with dpkg-buildpackage.

I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
If you don't know what it is, either ignore it or visit www.gnupg.org
My PGP key was last signed 6/10/2003 please download my key again if
it is more recent than your copy. If you use GPG, *please* talk to
me to sign it. The key is keyID E2B2CAD1 on pgp.mit.edu
