Hi all,
according to this article about pinning
http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
it seems to be ok to upgrade the libc6 from hoary to breezy.
I will try that, and will report the flaws and issues or success when 
I'm finished with the upgrade.

I think the big thing with the libc6 compiled with gcc-2.95 to libc6 
compiled with gcc-3.x was a different one, because the libs are not 
binary compatible, so that every program which depends on libc6 ( :-O ) 
had to be upgraded to the version compiled with gcc-3.x .
But this is (only) a bugfix upgrade or somewhat similar, at least I hope 
so...

regards

Gerhard
