The direct attempt (editing /etc/apt/sources.list, 'apt-get update')
does not succeed, 'apt-get update' results in the following error
messages:

E: Line 97707 in package file

Unfortunately, the apt packages in stable and unstable depend on
glibc > 2.1.x, resulting in a chicken-and-egg problem.

Which is the easiest way to upgrade to unstable under this
circumstances?  Recompiling apt for glibc 2.0.7? Editing the Package
file?
