Thanks for your report.

The error is
---
Preparando para reemplazar libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7 (usando 
.../libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.1_i386.deb) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 399: grep: Permission denied
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 399: grep: Permission denied

A non-dpkg owned copy of the libc6-i686 package was found.
It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation;
please remove that copy of the C library and try again.

    status_xen=$(dpkg -s libc6-xen 2>/dev/null | grep ^Status: | sed -e 
's/^Status: \(.*\) \(.*\) \(.*\)/\3/g')

I don't see how grep can fail with permission denied in this situation.
Does the following command fails too ?
$ dpkg -s libc6-i686 2>/dev/null | grep ^Status: | sed -e 's/^Status: \(.*\) 
\(.*\) \(.*\)/\3/g'

Anything specific to your system that you'd like to mention ?

Thanks.
