Ok, perhaps you are lucky you got that far. :)

I would try, by removing what you added manually.  Then remove libc6-doc
package, making sure you purge it (dpkg --purge libc6-doc).
Re-install it again.  From what I can see in the info files and dir file, it
should install properly.
Perhaps it is getting mixed up with what you added in the dir file.
