I believe I've solved it.

After cleaning apt-get's cache, I tried one more time without good
results; but with that I generated a "clean" cache (ie only with the
debs I was needing).

Then did

cd /var/cache/apt/archives

and then

sudo dpkg --force-depends --install libc6_2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7_i386.deb
findutils_4.4.0-2ubuntu3_i386.deb

of course the specific package names may differ.

Later on, I continued with Synaptic to fulfill the CMake's installation,
some non-conflicting packages remained to be installed.

What seems to be neccesary is the "force-depends"; and also probably (I
didn't actually the specific combination) to indicate both packages
simultaneously.

I also tried before "ignore-depends" (with the names of the packages)
but it didn't work.

Thanks.
