I've tried to install MIME::Base64 with cpanm, which gives me the error that sys/types.h is missing. I then try to install libc6-dev which fails with the error message

Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.13-38+deb7u8) but 2.19-11 is to be installed
             Depends: libc-dev-bin (= 2.13-38+deb7u8)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I hope someone knows a solution and can help me

Seems you're trying to install a Debian 8 libc6 (2.19-11) on a Debian 7 system (2.13-38+deb7u8). Check your /etc/apt/sources.list for any strange entries.
