You can do 'apt-get install libc6/woody'. I think that is the right
syntax, it was posted on this list not to long ago. It will downgrade
the libraries, didn't do 'locales' or any of the other depends that
came with the original upgrade of libc6, I did those the same way,
hopefully remembering what they all where. If you use the '-s' option
with apt-get (apt-get -s install xxx) it will show you what is going to
happen witout actually installing aything.
