I believe packages-current were built using V2.2 and of course with a different
libc (that's why they are called current). This library will not be in 2.1R
or in 2.1.5R. Your best bet is to make a soft link
   ln -s <name of your lib> libc.so.3.0
cross your fingers and hope it works. If not a recompile would be in order.
