This seems to show that libslang2 has been wrongly unpacked before
libc6. Do you happen to have the beginning of the log? You can find it
in /var/log/apt/term.log.*

To unbreak your system the best would be to unpack libc6 manually using
the following command:
dpkg -x /var/cache/apt/libc6_2.31-9_amd64.deb /
Then you should be able to run apt again to fix you system.
