Now I have libc6-i686 of version 2.7-3 installed, because I resumed
installation process after removing old /lib/i686 binaries. Anyway, I could
not show you 'dpkg -l' in that situation. I was using aptitude for the whole
upgrade process. The installation log shows this:
log# cat dpkg.log|egrep 'libc6(-i686)? '
