It seems that there is the file libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6.so.4.6 missing or corupt.
Maybe you should try downloading apt/dpkg manually, extracting the file (e.g. with file-roller) and placing it
yourself.
Here are search links for "dpkg" and "apt":
apt
dpkg

Any luck with this?

you cannot download libapt-pkg-libc(version number) because it is a virtual package so im afraid thats a no go there im not sure which packages provide that virtual package so i cant download them not least until i know what they are!!!
