That's my bad, sorry.  libc0.2 2.2.3-1 didn't get uploaded because it
causes the Hurd to fail to boot.

apt-get build-dep html2text
apt-get --build source html2text

This will produce a .deb file that you can install.

Marcus picked up the glibc troublshooting where I left off, so it'll
probably resolve itself quickly.

This is another good reason to get us participating in testing as
quick as we can. =)
