Thank you very much for sharing your efforts into this problem. FWIW, just a hint of how to downgrade a package would be nice. I'm a long term unstable user but I've never had to resort to this before. Just a mention of this line below would be great, perhaps even a suggestion of using wget to grab the packages... seeing that their regular browser of choice might not be working. In my case I uninstalled locales first so I did not have to download a large package that may be redundant within hours (if further updates solve this problem), so only this single package is actually needed to solve the immediate issue but a complete novice would not be aware of this and if they are behind a modem then it's a few extra wasted hours they do not need to go thru. Many thanks to you again :-) # wget http://www.atomichamster.com/mirrors/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.2.4-1_i386.deb # dpkg --force-downgrade -i libc6_2.2.4-1_i386.deb --markc
