Debian's Packages web page (http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages) will let you search the current release for a string (ie., a filename) and tell you what packages contain the string.
Lynx is a remarkable lifesaver in these situations. a search for libBrokenLocale gives me this: FILE PACKAGE lib/libBrokenLocale-2.0.7.so base/libc6 lib/libBrokenLocale.so.1 base/libc6 usr/i486-linuxchecker/lib/libBrokenLocale.a devel/checker usr/lib/libBrokenLocale.a devel/libc6-dev usr/lib/libBrokenLocale.so devel/libc6-dev usr/lib/libBrokenLocale_g.a devel/libc6-dbg usr/lib/libBrokenLocale_p.a devel/libc6-dbg As a result, the package you're after is most likely libc6, in the base area.
