Following an advice from Dale Scheetz (in debian-qa list), to avoid
problems it is recommended first to download and upgrade by hand the
following packages in this order:

ldso
libc5 (and libc5-dev)
dpkg

("By hand" means "dpkg -i package.deb", of course).

If you don't do this, dpkg may fail miserably due to packages using
"epochs", a feature that your old dpkg could not manage very well.
