Set your sources.list back to stable, then

apt-get install libc6/stable

Use (run that command with the -s option as well first, to make sure 
that apt doesn't do anything too drastic to your system). 

To install the latest version of libxml2 (if you need it) get the source 
code from unstable, then recompile it on stable with dpkg-buildpackage.
