Reinstall woody :)
You can fix apt-get by removing locales and everything that depends on
it.
You can try --reinstall --force-downgrade libc6 down to Woody, but I
wouldn't recommend it, as libc6 is such an essential package.
As for df, ditch it, apt-get install stat, and use 'stat -f /' instead
of 'df /'.
