So am I wedged?

$ sudo apt-get -f install
Preparing to replace libc6 2.5-9+b1 (using .../libc6_2.6.1-4_i386.deb) ...

    WARNING: POSIX threads library NPTL requires kernel version
    2.6.8 or later. If you use a kernel 2.4, please upgrade it
    before installing glibc.

Ok, so try and install a new Kernel:

$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-k7         
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kernel-patch-xfs: Depends: grep-dctrl
  libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.6.1-4) but 2.5-9+b1 is to be installed
  linux-image-k7: Depends: linux-image-2.6-k7 but it is not going to be installed
  locales: Depends: glibc-2.6-1
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
