Dpkg also refuses to install new libc-bin without previous unpacking of new 
libc6:

-8<-
$ dpkg -l | grep libc6
ii  libc6                           2.7-10                      GNU C Library:
Shared libraries
$ sudo dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/libc-bin_2.10.2-2_i386.deb
dpkg: regarding .../libc-bin_2.10.2-2_i386.deb containing libc-bin:
 libc-bin breaks libc6 (<< 2.10)
  libc6 (version 2.7-10) is present and installed.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc-bin_2.10.2-2_i386.deb
(--unpack):
 installing libc-bin would break libc6, and
 deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libc-bin_2.10.2-2_i386.deb
->8-

So, what's the correct order then?
