It seems like either your installation of libc6 is
broken, or your installed
version of perl doesn't match your installed version
of libc6. How did
your machine get broken like this? That is, what's
the last change you
made before apt-get et. al. broke?

I cannot recall what I have done, but to my knowledge
it happened during one of the routine "aptitude
dist-upgrade".
Hearthstone:
I would gladly reinstall, but I have to salvage some
large files. Unfortunately no browsers work, nor does
gftp. Lynx does work, but http://beta.yousendit.com
that I would use to upload my files doesn't work in
lynx, perhaps due to the same "relocation error"
problem (?).
Could I fix some links? Which ones? How?
Thanks, Hearthstone.
