Thanks. This (and a night worrying) was enough to figure out the
problem. I have both stable and testing listed in my sources. Stable
is higher priority. The packages that have been kept back are not in
stable and depend on a newer version of libc6. Removing the testing
source gets rid of the problem. When sarge becomes stable, I will
have a similar problem, but migration should go smoothly.
Thanks,
Jeffrey
