Thomas,

First, it seems that you're actually trying to install different revisions
of the same package. You had libc-bin (2.19-18+deb8u9) in your first email,
and libc-bin (2.19-18+deb8u10) in your second.  While this is a minor
difference, I've seen it cause issues. I spun a test Debian Wheezy system
in VirtualBox and then upgraded to Devuan Jessie.  I could not recreate the
problem. Do you think you may have a corrupted package?  Did you try
removing the libc-bin package, then running a fresh update and
reinstalling?

rm /var/cache/archives/libc-bin_2.19-18+deb8u10_amd64.deb  AND/OR
rm /var/cache/archives/libc-bin_2.19-18+deb8u9_amd64.deb
apt-get update
apt-get install --reinstall libc-bin

Just a thought.

HTH,
