When you type apt-get -t unstable libc6 apt-get searches for the unstable lines on your sources.list file.
You'll have to add the unstable lines, mine are: deb ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free The file you created, apt.conf, it's just to tell apt-get which branch to choose, stable or unstable.
