Yuck!
You might need to install some of these packages by hand (i.e., download
the sources and manually dpkg -i) until your system is stable.
It looks like you need to at least update your libc6/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2,
then you can manually install debconf. Once that's done you should be
working again.
Good luck!
