You upgraded your system from libc6 2.0.7 to 2.1.2 I think. The problem is,
these version aren´t completely compatible. Because nearly every program
depends on this library you should recompile everything (or get the newer
packages linked against version 2.1.2).

KDevelop f.e. also needs libX11, libjpeg, libtiff etc. and these might depend
on other stuff.
Finally if you want a stable system update everything or switch back to the
stable distro. Nevertheless I know a lot of people working with Debian 2.2pre
without problems and as far as I know Debian has already freezed potato code,
so there is an imminent new stable release.
