THis was all going wonderfully, when it decided to (apt-get) upgrade glibc Failed during the process, and now falls over when it has prepared the dependency tree. I had a guddle around with a copy of Knoppix and tried moving the various libraries to where they said they should live, but still v flaky and can't run apt-get Where should I look next?
I've done this in the past with a Redhat box, so I'll roughly translate the process into how I'd try to do it with Debian. You need to boot from a bootable Debian CD (ideally a Debian-Installer disc, Knoppix might work) and configure up your networking, apt sources and mount the root filesystem somewhere. Run apt-get from the CD with -d to download the glibc packages (if you're running testing I can confirm that the current packages are OK so you don't need to revert to an older version). Now use dpkg to install them using the --root option to point to where you mounted your root partition. That should do it! Good luck.
