I'm having difficulty installing the locales package (which dselect 
wants to remove).  It complains about glibc package not being available. 
  I've unpacking the deb file, and it's control file shows that it is 
dependent on glibc-2.2.5-6:

   Package: locales
   Version: 2.2.5-6
   Section: base
   Priority: standard
   Architecture: all
   Depends: glibc-2.2.5-6, debconf (>= 0.2.26)

However, there is no glibc package, and in the packages search results 
(http://packages.debian.org/testing/base/locales.html) the locales 
package is shown to be dependent on libc6.

At the moment I'm having to force dpkg to install this, and also the JDK 
from Blackdown, which depends on it.

My /etc/apt/sources.list contains these lines:

deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib 
non-free

Any ideas on how to fix this?

thank you,

Erik
