Here is the thing. I'm lost. I downgraded from Debian 10 buster (testing) to Debian 9 stretch (stable) by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file.

I typed :

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

All worked, lsb_release -a shown me a Debian 9 stretch version.

After that I typed these commands

apt-get clean
apt autoremove

Which shown me an error with python3.5-minimal and python3-minimal So I tried to uninstall it

apt-get remove --purge python3

There starts the big troubles Since this moment, it seems that all the GLIBC is broken. At each basic command I write, there is this kind of output.

host:~# apt
apt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.5.0)
host:~# wget
wget: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.30)
wget: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.26' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libp11-kit.so.0)

I can't even connect to SSH anymore. I have a rescue console which allows me to write some commands but I can't download anything.

Is there something like a cache where I could get back python/glibc ?

This is an emergency message. Thank you for any help

    That's a downgrade from testing to stable, I've read upgrades are much more tested/working/save, not at all sure about downgrades. Just an idea but a live ISO + chroot might allow installing some packages again? Or just a fresh install of stable – Xen2050 Feb 26 '19 at 03:22
  • BTW your question is off-topic for this site. Try other sister sites. In any cases: downgrades are not supported: some dependencies ("essential packages") are implicit. You can go to `/var/cache/apt/archive` and do a `dpkg -BOGiE *.deb` several time. Ev. increase the error limit. This will upgrade again packages, and it should fix most of problems. Ev. you can just install glibc and other essential programs. – Giacomo Catenazzi Feb 26 '19 at 13:38

im guesing that your computer is amd64 if thats not right please comment and say right architecture

first do curl -o apt.deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/aptitude/aptitude_0.8.7-1_amd64.deb

then do(if sudo is still installed) sudo dpkg -i apt.deb

if sudo is not installed try with: gksudo dpkg -i apt.deb then do gksudo apt-get install sudo
