AFAIK, it ran out of space a while ago.

You can try to use apt-move to convert the cache of packages into a
local archive structure and add this archive to your sources.list. Your
package manager might then be able to carry out the necessary downgrades
and resolve the dependencies (a bit of manual prodding and fixing will
probably still be necessary). This will only work if all old
dependencies are available in your cache, of course.

You could also try to downgrade all libc6-related packages to the
versions in testing.
