Please learn how to ask good questions, especially with the subject
line...
Good: libc6: How to downgrade?
Better: libglib1.2: How to install?
The second one is better because it states the goal without assuming a
specific course of action.
Bad: Anything with "urgent," "help me," or words to similar effect.
Likely, you expect these words to cause people to go "Oh, I think this
guy needs help more than other folks" and reprioritize thier email
reading around you. More likely, however, these words just scream
"selfish idiot" and the message to which they're heading deleted.
Responses you recieve will likely be highly critical.
This is preventable, ESR tells you how.

Before you go make assumptions, try apt-cache search libglib, see if
you find what you're looking for.

Switch to an older distro. Almost everying depends on libc6, and if
you downgrade libc6, you're probably going to have to downgrade
everything that depends on it.

See the top of this message for the likely culprit and fix.
