Re: libc6: How to downgrade
When you type apt-get -t unstable libc6 apt-get searches for the
unstable lines on your sources.list file.
You'll have to add the unstable lines, mine are:
deb ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ unstable main
non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ unstable
main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main
contrib non-free
The file you created, apt.conf, it's just to tell apt-get which branch
to choose, stable or unstable.
May tux wisdom be with you (in case penguins are intelligent, but that's
another story)
