As the warning says, the new package is trying to overwrite a file
that is contained in another package (2 packages have the same file!!
that cant' be). Don't worry, it must be a problem with the new libc6
package, i have had the same problem today. Wait a few days and make
another apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

by the way, that kind of notices are useless, and disturbing (and
illegal on some countries), ask your system administrator to please
get rid of it. (mail firms should be 3-4 lines only)
(never knew how to end a mail in an informal way in english, excuse me)
