I have received a report about upgrading as well. He failed...
But: There were two things which kept his upgrade from failing:
a) install current dpkg-multicd
b) install new libc manually
After that a simple dselect update/installation/configure run with
installation/configure repeated upgraded the system.
The system was using a multicd set (basically: the OfficialCD, but with
some additions)

I've heard that there is apt-cdrom somewhere.
