Looks like a conflict over /usr/lib64. I'm having the same problem right
now, but between libc6 and base-files, and I've hosed my system. (I'm sure I
just made a large majority of the list groan and/or laugh at me.) My
understanding is that you can force the install with dpkg, using the
following:
dpkg - dpkg --force-overwrite -i
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-20.0.0.1.pure64_amd64.deb
I would check elsewhere before doing this though, because my intranet server
will tell you that I've hosed this before.
For anyone on the list that's dealt with this, it this suggested solution
correct? Also, I have a system where some idiot (me) temporarily uninstalled
base-files in order to upgrade libc6. If I did this same command from an
ubuntu AMD64 live cd for libc6 and base-files, but with the -root= option,
fix the problem for me? Thanks.

I made an upgrade with atp-get after having installed some packages.
I got some dependency problems, so I tried
fzr:/# apt-get check
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-20.0.0.1.pure64) but
2.3.2.ds1-20 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
fzr:/# apt-get install -f
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:
libc6
Suggested packages:
glibc-doc
The following packages will be upgraded:
libc6
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 59 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.

Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
dpkg: error

trying to overwrite `/usr/lib64', which is also in package xmms-kde
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-20.0.0.1.pure64_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The problem is that I can't remove xmms-kd3, but I can't force any
installation.
HELP!
Erik
