bummer!  But getting libc6 working is the really vital part.

These are easy.  

dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/locales_2.3.11_all.deb

Then, either don't worry about it, or find out which of those packages is
more recent, and if it's language-pack-en-base, you may want to do the same
with it, to force it back to using the most recent .../locales/en_AU
