you could also try to use dpkg -i <filename.deb>
after you download the libc6 library file.  It will let
you know if it depends on something and then you install the next file it
asks for using the dpkg -i again.

(It worked for me when dselect didn't
work when upgrading from a previous version of debian to potato.  After
installing libc6, I could install the rest of
the packages without to much trouble)
