An upgrade without problem ! I have tryied : - to move that file - nothing work after that so I cannot redo the upgrade ! - to use a rescue CD (PartedMagic), chroot the environement and try to force the upgrade, but I get the same result ! Is there any solution to make the upgrade happen without reinstalling the whole system ? This looks like your dpkg database is corrupted, or at least not in sync with the files installed in your system. Can you please provide us the contents of all the files named /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6*.list ? Ping ? Sorry for the lack of response ! Unfortunately I have reinstalled the system using the CUT installation CD (http://cut.debian.net/) and it works like a charm ! I received your first mail just after my reinstall and I haven't any copy of the old /var :( I think you can close that bug. I will reopen it if it happened again and in that case I will save the /var/lib to have some post mortem datas.

Nothing better, all packages downgrade well except lib6 which fails always with the same message !
