Sounds like a broken symbolic link. Try "file /usr/lib/libc.so" or do an
"ls -l" on the files to see where they are pointing.

If you are making a special mirror (i.e. non standard), make a special
packages file using dpkg-scanpackages from dpkg-dev. In the mounted
option of dselect, I point the "_main_ binary dir" to the root of my
mirror where my packages file for all packages exist.
