what i ended up doing was:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.2.5-11.
5_i386.deb

somehow, that _seems_ to have fixed it. i can run apt-get -f install 
now and it does not complain (part of it's complaint was to remove 
more than 400 packages ... do i really, really, really want to do 
this?)
