Um, could you elaborate _what_ is going to break? Upgrading the glibc requires an update of a few other packages that do not work with newer versions (locales, tzdata, libc6-dev), but that's it. After all, if you dist-upgrade to a newer Debian version, libc6 is usually one of the first packages that are upgraded, and a breakage in the middle of an upgrade because of the newer libc6 is not something that happens very often. > You're > better off doing a dist-upgrade to lenny. Which involves its own risk of breakages. I would rather suggest apt pinning, as described in http://wiki.debian.org/AptPinning.
