Bug#816737: Broken after recent upgrade
Package: libc6
Severity: Serious
Yesterday, I tred to upgrade libc6 on my Debian GNU/testing system. But
it didn't work. The packages are marked as broken in synaptic. Today, I
tried apt-get -f install, but it fails too:
root@notebook4:/home/philipp# LANG=C apt-get -f install

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
gtk2-engines libglewmx1.10 libgtkglext1-dev libintl-perl libjsoncpp0v5
libopenraw1v5 libpangox-1.0-dev libsigc++-1.2-5c2 libusb-1.0-0:i386
lockfile-progs
qemu-kvm
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
libc6 libc6:i386 libc6-i686:i386
Suggested packages:
glibc-doc glibc-doc:i386 libc-l10n:i386 locales:i386
The following packages will be upgraded:
libc6 libc6:i386 libc6-i686:i386
3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 950 not upgraded.
4 not fully installed or removed.

After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

P.S.: How can I get my system back into a useable state? Since the
failure is on de-configuring, I guess, I can't go back to an older
version either?
