Public bug reported: Hi,
I'm using Kubuntu 13.10 saucy 64-bits, upgraded yesterday from Raring. During the upgrade, I got a message which broke the complete update, i.e. libc6 failed to configure because it could not replace files within /lib64, complaining with an error message like this : A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory: '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.17.so' It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation; please remove that copy of the C library or get it out of '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' and try again. I could save my upgrade with a liveCD, removing the offending files, expanding the right libc with dpkg-deb -x, chrooting and running apt-get install -f.
