With help from oskar- on IRC, I solved my issue following these steps: reboot from LiveCD, mount the partitions to /mnt/ubuntu/... download the libc6 package run "dpkg --root=/mnt/ubuntu -i libcxxxx.deb" chroot into /mnt/ubuntu run: aptitude clean aptitude update aptitude upgrade aptitude dist-upgrade It proceeded to download the other half of packages again and then installed them with some minor problems solved as suggested by apt-get or aptitude (apt-get -f install...)
My system is working now.
