The problem can be fixed with the help of Busybox, the old libc6/locales .deb package, unp and a ftp client (or wget). You first get busybox onto the machine, use the binary from busybox-static package. Then "./busybox sh" in the path where busybox is. I assume that you unpacked the .debs with unp already...if not, unpack 'em on another machine and transfer the content of data.tar.gz (recursive!!) with ftp to your broken server. I use /tmp/dpkgs/usr/,/tmp/dpkgs/lib etc. for this walkthrough, just change if you have different paths. Then, in busybox sh, "cp -R /tmp/dpkgs/* /" Then, you need the .debs for libc6, libc6-i686 and locales. In Busybox sh, "dpkg -i libc6....deb libc6-i686...deb locales....deb". Then you should be OK again.
