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?)
