You've got the wrong libc6 package installed, apparently. This needs a versioned dependency apparently... Get libc6_2.0.100-*.deb. You may be able to extract it with: cd / && ar x /tmp/libc6*.deb data.tar.gz && tar xzf data.tar.gz On the other hand, that may fail. Your best path may be to untar it on a remote machine and use ftp to get the file.
