Ok, I am not able to remove / install stuff no matter what I try  (with or
without -f).. There is always one dependencies leaning on another. I tried
to (re)install and/or remove stuff.

# apt-get -f remove libc6-dev-sparc64
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libc6-sparc64: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.2) but 2.2.5-11.5 is to be
installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
a solution).

We all know which applications depends on libc6, I am a little bit worried
at this point.... ....
