Before anyone says use the search function, I did, and I found a topic very similar (Installed wrong libc6-dev Version) so I will provide the same outputs from commands that were used there, but I'm too newb on ubuntu to adapt the solution to my problem :/

Onto the topic, I was installing some stuff onto my server and one post suggested tampering with the sources.list files, so I did and I knew it was a bad idea...

Fastforward to now I cant use apt-get install, apt-get upgrade or anything in apt due to it telling me the libc6 library is too new, and I don't know how to downgrade it because the dependencies are all mixed up :S Pls Help!

The following are outputs of commands I tried, which were also asked for by the OP of the other post:

Output of apt-get upgrade :

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 libc-bin : Depends: libc6 (< 2.20) but 2.22-13 is installed

 libc-l10n : Breaks: locales (< 2.21-1)

 libc6 : Breaks: locales (< 2.22)

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I can see that it was "not found", but I have no idea how to fix this at all.

I also ran the following sudo apt-get install libc6=2.19-0ubuntu6.9 libc6-dev=2.19-0ubuntu6.9 libc6-i386=2.19-0ubuntu6.9 libc-dev-bin=2.19-0ubuntu6.9 libc-bin=2.19-0ubuntu6.9 libc-l10n- and it gave me :

Thank you very much for reading, hoping there is someone out there who can help.

P.S. apt-get update gives me this, I also have no idea what this all means :/

2. 
   

   Update package list

   
   
   

   sudo apt-get update
   
   

   
   


3. 
   

   Force remove libc-l10n

   
   
   

   sudo dpkg remove libc-l10n
   
   

   
   


4. 
   

   Check for packages names and available versions

   
   
   

   apt-cache policy libc6* locales
   
   

   
   


5. 
   

   Downgrade the installed libc packages

   
   
   

   sudo apt-get install libc-bin=2.19-0ubuntu6.9 libc6-dev=2.19-0ubuntu6.9 libc6-i386=2.19-0ubuntu6.9 locales=2.19-0ubuntu6.9
   
   

   
   
   

   I'm not sure about which the complete list but if you get a problem, update the question with the output of apt-cache policy libc6* locales

   
   


6. 
   

   Check if we miss anything

   
   
   

   sudo apt-get -f install
