You did not show the actual errors.
If it was a failed download, just re-run apt-get, it tries again.

Maybe it will find this one:
dpkg -iGOEB /var/cache/apt/archives/{libdb2,libc6,libstdc++}*deb
But ideally, you should not have to use dpkg on packages in apt's
download cache. Try using the appropriate high level tools where
available. Use dselect.
