In my report I think the key
There were not files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ for libc6:i386, only for
libc6 (ie /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.list existed but
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6:i386.list did not).
I created the /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6:i386.list file from the contents
of the downloaded deb package using:
dpkg-deb -c /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.5_i386.deb |
awk {'sub(/^\./,"",$6);sub(/^\/$/,"/.",$6); sub(/\/$/,"",$6); print $6'}
> /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6:i386.list
After this 'apt-get install -f' run correctly and the libc6 package was
upgraded. Then the rest of the package upgrades were done via aptitude.
The mention of libc6:i386 suggests that the problem maybe linked to
multiarch, but I can not be sure. I also suggest that copying
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.list to /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6:i386.list
might also work temporarily.
So fixed for me for the moment.
