Re: libc6: How to downgrade
I don't know if this works for you or not, but it did for me.
I have both stable and unstable lines in sources.list, also in /etc/apt
I have a file called apt.conf with this only line:
APT::Default-Release "stable";
Using apt-get -t unstable libc6
I installed libc6 from unstable, but only that package.
Had no problems since then.
Chainy.
