Installing an upgrade of libc6 can break programs.  I would not
recommend doing this.  Maybe others will have different advice.

Remember that you are using Debian's unstable distro.  Mixing with the
repository from another distro is really risky in my opinion.  Can you
consider installing Ubuntu which has very up-to-date programs and is
Debian based?
