Bug#671715: libc6: Fail to upgrade from 2.13-27 to newer version !

[newbeewan <newbeewan@nativobject.net>]

Hi,

I have tried that workaround but without any success :(

I get the same message :
# dpkg -i ./download/libc6_2.13-27_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 81988 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libc6:amd64 2.13-27 (using .../libc6_2.13-27_amd64.deb) ...

A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory:
  '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so'
It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation;
please remove that copy of the C library or get it out of
'/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' and try again.

dpkg: error processing ./download/libc6_2.13-27_amd64.deb (--install):
 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ./download/libc6_2.13-27_amd64.deb

I have tried with all versions from 2.13-20 to 2.13-27 with exactly the same result !

Regards

Mourad
