You've got the wrong libc6 package installed, apparently.  This needs a
versioned dependency apparently...

Get libc6_2.0.100-*.deb.  You may be able to extract it with:
cd / && ar x /tmp/libc6*.deb data.tar.gz && tar xzf data.tar.gz

On the other hand, that may fail.  Your best path may be to untar it on
a remote machine and use ftp to get the file.
