The following worked for me:

1) wget
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/slib/slib_2d4-2_all.deb

2) dpkg -i slib_2d4-2_all.deb

3) add the following to /etc/apt/preferences

	Package: slib
	Pin: version 2d4-2
	Pin-Priority: 1001

This will prevent apt from trying to update the slib package until the
problem has been fixed.

You may also want to consider installing the package apt-listbugs.  It
will warn you if there are any outstanding bugs against a package that
is about to be installed and give you a chance to cancel the upgrade.
