Stupid me, I forgot apt-get is itself linked against libstdc++6. >> Which version of libstdc++6 is installed on your system? > > 4.6-20110125-1, which I installed by hand when I saw the nature of the > problem, however, it didn't change... Well, this might actually be your problem, try downgrading to 4.4.5-8 from Squeeze. Apparently the experimental libstdc++6 version does not work with Lenny's glibc¹. >> Try "apt-get -f install".

First you need to get apt and other important stuff that's linked against libstdc++6 working, then we'll see further.
