RE: FW: anybody help me? dependency problem: no way back???
I thought I had already upgraded base-files and libc6 after the move. I'll
give your suggestion a try. I need to reinstall base-files as well (I
removed it in a spectacular display of stupidity.) I can't even login at the
console right now, hence the part about using a live cd. I'll definitely
write up a report on how I fixed it if I'm successful.

Then you either didn't upgrade in a long time (and we warned about
this) or you used force-overwrite on base-files during the short time
libc6 and base-files where out of sync the same long time ago or
downgraded or something.
I knew moving the link would create problems. There just isn't a way
to make it foolproof with dpkg. Lets hope you are the last stragler.

PS: I recommend you reinstall libc6 and then dist-upgrade to be on the
save side.
