I was not able to solve the problem. In the end I suspect the problem may be with the kernel I am using 2.2.20 which is no longer supported or tested for packages in testing. To get my system running again, I installed libc6 from stable using dpkg, then downgraded the entire system to stable. Everything is working now, and luckily I don't need any packages from testing. -- Take care, eh. Chris
