I'm also suffering from this problem. As soon as the new glibc6 version 
was installed, locales and my blackdown j2re1.3 packages too. I can't 
install locales and j2re anymore!

Maybe we should file a bug against the glibc6 package?

Can someone fix this please!?

Thanks!

By the way, I have a security deb line (testing) and this doesn't help.
