That does not look too bad on first glance, you seem to have the Lenny
versions of the libc6* packages installed, and the testing version of
libc-bin was removed again. In that case /sbin/ldconfig should still be
part of libc6 itself. What do you get from:
file /sbin/ldconfig
dpkg -L libc6 | grep ldconfig
echo $PATH
(the last one as root)
