I guess those packages simply do not work... They wont install since they 
require glibc 2.14, and after the failed install your debian is dead:

root at debian-build-6-2:/eregion/public/games/SL/3p/gcc backport for squeeze# 
aptitude search glibc
aptitude: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by 
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
aptitude: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by 
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1)


Not amused.

Thanks for LVM snapshots.
