Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-3
Severity: normal
When I upgrade libc6 and run out of disk space during the install then
sometimes /etc/ld.so.nohwcap is left around. This causes all binaries
linked against pthread to SEGV. I'm using NTPL via libc6-i686 but
I don't know if this is part of the problem. As soon as I remove or
rename /etc/ld.so.nohwcap then my system becames usable again. Once
I free up some disk space then I am able to upgrade libc6.

I think it's not package bug. /etc/ld.so.nohwcap interferes to work
/lib/<any-hwcap-dir>/* libraries. I think your libc6 is partially
installed, but /lib/ld.so and libc6-i686 libraries are installed
nicely and both versions are matched. Upgrading libc6 is attentive
path.
Dpkg and apt-get should consider the remaining disk ammount before
installing all packages (IIRC, it's one of TODO lists in those
packages).
I close this bug. Another idea is to reassign them to admin packages,
but I don't do so because the original report claimed glibc behavior.
