I had to read the second sentence multiple times. I think it is too
long, or missing two commas. How about:

The preinst for <systemitem role="package">libc6</systemitem> performs a
check, and if this fails then, to avoid completely breaking the system,
it will abort the package installation, which will leave the upgrade
unfinished.

or

To avoid completely breaking the system, the preinst for <systemitem
role="package">libc6</systemitem> performs a check. If this fails, it
will abort the package installation, which will leave the upgrade
unfinished.
