A forced installed did the trick.
dpkg -i --force-all
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-sparc64_2.2.5-11.8_sparc.deb

Preparing to replace libc6-sparc64 2.2.5-11.5 (using

Unpacking replacement libc6-sparc64 ...

(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/lib/64', which is also in package gcc-3.0
On my system (Debian Stable) /lib/64 is a symlink to '../lib64'.
Having
a look through the info packages it now seems to be owned by
"libc6-sparc64" but before the update I think it was owned by several
packages (I think gcc-3.0 libc6-sparc64 and libc6-sparc-64-dev).
Forcing the install of the new packages seemed to fix the error
messages
and nothing else evil has happened so far ... :-)
HTH
