Installed wrong libc6 on ubuntu 14.04 and now I'm lost

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 :

E: Unable to locate package

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 :/

Solution 1:

Comment that http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ repository to disable it
Update package list
```
sudo apt-get update
```
Force remove libc-l10n
```
sudo dpkg remove libc-l10n
```
Check for packages names and available versions
```
apt-cache policy libc6* locales
```
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
Check if we miss anything
```
sudo apt-get -f install
```
