It's quite simple: You are facing another incarnation of the same issue 
again. The rpms you are unpackaging and trying to use on Debian are 
incompatible to those libraries you have installed on Debian.


Unfortunately, you are still providing too little details, to be able to 
help.

E.g.

* Which glibc do you have installed?

* Which glibc compatiblity modes does it supply?
Run:
nm -sD /lib/libc.so.6 | grep GLIBC

* Which distro's rpms are you trying to use?
