Repair broken libc6 on Debian 10

I've gotten myself into a real pickle. My libc6 install seems to be broken, which has broken aptitude. I think I accidentally upgraded libc6 from buster-backports and maybe messed things up when I tried to downgrade.

When I run apt update I get the following error:

/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries lib crypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. 

if I run apt-cache policy libc6 it returns the following:

Installed: 2.31-3 Candidate: 2.31-3 Version Table: **** 2.31-3 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.28-10 500 500 http://ftp.us.debian ... etc
