Try manually getting the version you need from the ftp server (wget ftp://ftp.debian.org/path/to/libc6.deb) and installing it with dpkg --install file.deb. If that doesn't work, find (or make) the rescue floppy from the original install; there are utilities on there for restoring broken debian systems. > -- > This message is only for the addressee(s).
