Scary.  Does the second one (9ffd0b4c6a15f0cc0f95bcb895f2685b) unpack
correctly (dpkg-deb --extract libc6-dev_2.1.3-20_i386.deb tempdir)?  That
should be save to try, and may detect whether the archive is corrupt.

If it is not corrupt, I would be interested in analyzing the contents if you
can make a copy available.
