locales/glibc dependency problem



I'm having difficulty installing the locales package (which dselect wants to remove). It complains about glibc package not being available. I've unpacking the deb file, and it's control file shows that it is dependent on glibc-2.2.5-6:

  Package: locales
  Version: 2.2.5-6
  Section: base
  Priority: standard
  Architecture: all
  Depends: glibc-2.2.5-6, debconf (>= 0.2.26)

However, there is no glibc package, and in the packages search results (http://packages.debian.org/testing/base/locales.html) the locales package is shown to be dependent on libc6.

At the moment I'm having to force dpkg to install this, and also the JDK from Blackdown, which depends on it.

My /etc/apt/sources.list contains these lines:

deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free

Any ideas on how to fix this?

thank you,

Erik
