FWIW, my box has been in sync with unstable since [never released] debian-1.0
and it still is, including libc6-dev stuff. At the moment you need to put
3 packages on hold for this to work:
libc5-5.4.33-[>3],
locales,
libgdbm1.
I think you can't install libgdbmg1 without upgrading libgdbm1 first, so
this has to go, too.
(I was able to fix my box by manually downgrading the 2 libraries. Note
that I was upgrading only a handful of packages, so it didn't exactly look
like all hell broke loose; the box worked except for perl.)
As usual, this works for me, YMMV.
Hope this helps somebody.
