I did have some trouble with libc6 and libstdc++. I would try
removing libc6-dev (since you can easily install it later) and trying
again. If you get things like "can't upgrade libc6 because you
already have libc6" (some similarly ridiculous message, it is
ridiculous because it is a computer and not a person) add --force to
your apt command. Once libc6 and libstdc++ are upgraded, kill apt
(^C) and start again without the --force. It worked for me ;-).
