Chris, I ran into this same problem after updating to the lastest libc6_2.0.7r-2. The dependency in the latest apt is looking for something >= 2.0.7pre1-0. I guess that it doesn't see 2.0.7r-2 as being "greaterthan or equal to".<G>
Something was posted on this list a few days ago about this being fixed in apt_0.0.17 (or some version like that). I have not yet seen this available anywhere though.
