Why are you using libc6 from Lenny on your Sarge system?
The post-Sarge versions of the libc6 package require an extra package,
"tzdata", to provide the files in /usr/share/zoneinfo. You should not
even be able to install such a libc6 package without also installing
tzdata. (Unless you use "dpkg --force-depends -i".)
How did you get your system into this state? (We need to know, otherwise
we cannot figure out the best way to fix it.)
