This is expected since perl is partially at 5.10 already. Once you get
perl going again this should all be fixable by a simple "apt-get install
-f".

This is unexpected and cause for concern. It should be possible to
upgrade both libc6 and libc6-i686 to version 2.7-13 simultaneously. In
fact, this might happen automatically with "apt-get install -f" or with
"apt-get dist-upgrade". If this does not work you have to find out why
libc6-i686 is stuck at 2.7-9. ("apt-cache policy libc6-i686" might be a
good start.)

It seems that this one is currently messing up the configuration of the
perl package (see below).

Once the perl business is fixed you have to find out what keeps mono-jit
and libmono-system-web2.0-cil at the "stable" versions (unless apt-get
manages to fix this automatically).

Ah $#%&!, now perl cannot be configured because some of the old modules
don't work anymore and the modules cannot be upgraded because perl is
not configured. You will have to break this tie manually:
dpkg -S /usr/lib/perl5/auto/Locale/gettext/gettext.so
will tell you that this file belongs to package liblocale-gettext-perl.
Therefore you have to download the new version of this package (or look
for it in /var/cache/apt/archives/) and install it with:
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/liblocale-gettext-perl_1.05-4_*.deb
If dpkg cannot install this package due to unresolved dependencies then
you have to chase down the corresponding packages yourself, or you can
try to use force (preferably only as a last resort):
dpkg --force-depends -i /var/cache/apt/archives/liblocale-gettext-perl_1.05-4_*.deb
After you have done that, try
dpkg --configure perl perl-modules perl-doc
again. If other modules cause problems then you have to repeat the above
procedure for more packages until perl can be configured.
