Looks like a conflict over /usr/lib64. I'm having the same problem right now, but between libc6 and base-files, and I've hosed my system. (I'm sure I just made a large majority of the list groan and/or laugh at me.) My understanding is that you can force the install with dpkg, using the following: dpkg - dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-20.0.0.1.pure64_amd64.deb I would check elsewhere before doing this though, because my intranet server will tell you that I've hosed this before. For anyone on the list that's dealt with this, it this suggested solution correct? Also, I have a system where some idiot (me) temporarily uninstalled base-files in order to upgrade libc6. If I did this same command from an ubuntu AMD64 live cd for libc6 and base-files, but with the -root= option, fix the problem for me?
