Bug#49066: ldso_1.9.11-5 claims to replace libc6
Thanks, I realize my diagnosis was wrong.
The problem was that I installed a new libc6. It recommends gconv-modules.
I downloaded that, then decided I didn't need it (trying to get a mimium
server install), and deinstalled it. Now it turns out that gconv-modules
conflicts with the old version of locales. Even though gconv-modules wasn't
selected for installation, dselect somehow decided there was a conflict
between new libc6 and old locales through gconv-modules, just that no
browsing of any modules scheduled to be installed showed any conflict. So
there I was in hell for 5-6 hours, until I figured out I just needed to
upgrade locales...
Thanks for the help!

Provide would be nice, but Conflicts would be necessary.
