Comment 33 for bug 560135

How can we revert back to the previous packages using apt,

I've tried the following command without success:

proppy@murasaki:~$ sudo apt-get --reinstall -f install libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc6-i686 libc6-dbg libc6-dev libc6-dev libc6
[sudo] password for proppy:

Reinstallation of libc6-dbg is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
Reinstallation of libc6-dev is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.

Should I download each package and run dpkg -i ?

Thanks in advance.
