What version of Debian are you trying to upgrade from?  The only libmimelib1 
I can find at http://packages.debian.org/ is in oldstable.  Stable has 
libmimelib1a, which libmimelib1c2 properly Replaces and Conflicts with, so 
it can overwrite that file in the corresponding package.

You could try removing libmimelib1 first (dpkg --remove libmimelib1), and 
then libmimelib1c2 should be able to install.
