The dependencies look OK to me: Your output below shows that the new version of lib32stdc++6 requires gcc-4.2-base version 4.2-20070712-1, which is the version currently in Lenny. The root of your problem seems to be a known bug of lib32z1 (fixed in the meantime) which blocks the installation of libc6-i386 (and everything else). > Experience shows that bug reporting against the wrong package > leads to no consequences at all.

Something about the meaning of the words "testing" and "Ubuntu" comes to mind, but I think it is better if I let it slide. > The following error messages I had to translate from German, only a few of > them matched with readable texts I found in /bin/apt-get, so please excuse > if there are mistakes.

Try to use -f. Most likely this is only a consequence of the lib32z1 problem and will go away as soon as the latter is fixed. > Errors after apt-get -f install: > > (Reading data base ... 88142 files and dictionaries are installed.) > Package lists are read. > Preparing to replace libc6-i386 2.5-9 (by .../libc6-i386_2.6-2_amd64.deb) > ... > Unpacking replacement for libc6-i386 ... > dpkg: Error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-i386_2.6-2_amd64.deb > (--unpack): > Trying to overwrite »/usr/lib32« which is also in lib32z1 > Errors occurred while processing: > /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-i386_2.6-2_amd64.deb > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-i386_2.6-2_amd64.deb followed by apt-get install -f should fix this. > When trying to remove one or all of the above files, apt-get threatens to > delete several screenfuls of files, including some which I need and use > every day.

No, this is not what aptitude does, unless it is used by someone who does not understand the Debian packaging system and who has not bothered to read aptitude's excellent documentation (available in four languages). > '--reinstall install' shows no effect at all. > After updating to kernel 2.6.21 some more insufficiencies showed up, > especially during boot procedures.
