[LBo] Deb testing 64 + broken package.

[Geoff Jones]

I am having problems with "locales" package on Deb Lenny.
Synaptic reports it as broken dependencies -  below is outcome of attempt to 
fix it:-

I have googled extensively without making much headway - must admit to being 
somewhat out of my depth here!

I notice I have libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 installed + latest is libc6_2.5-9.
[ I installed nspluginwrapper from an rpm using alien ]. I thought problem 
might lie with nspluginwrapper + tried to uninstall - but not able to do that 
until dependencies are fixed!

Any ideas as to way forward would be appreciated.
Geoff.
