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.
