big problem with libc6 install



I have a host with debian woody. It was a few time that I didn´t upgrade the packets. with apt-get I tried upgrade packets but this failed.
Now if I run "dpkg -C" I get:
 
 
 Package: libc6
Status: install reinstreq half-installed
Priority: required
Section: base
Installed-Size: 12760
Maintainer: Ben Collins <
bcollins@debian.org>
Source: glibc
Version: 2.2.5-11.1
Config-Version: 2.2.5-11.1
 
If I try apt-get install libc6, I get:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
 
 
I try so dpkg --configure -a, and I get:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libc6-dev:
 libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.2); however:
  Package libc6 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing libc6-dev (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libc6-dev
 
 
If I enter in /var and run find -iname "*libc6*", I get the following:
./cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.1.3-20_i386.deb
./cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev_2.1.3-20_i386.deb
./cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.2.5-10_i386.deb
./cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev_2.2.5-10_i386.deb

./cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev_2.2.5-11.2_i386.deb
./cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.2.5-11.2_i386.deb

./lib/dpkg/info/libc6-dev.list
./lib/dpkg/info/libc6-dev.preinst
./lib/dpkg/info/libc6-dev.prerm
 
According this I have serveral binaries of libc6.
 
If I try install with dpkg, dpkg -i ./cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.2.5-11, I get:
 
(Reading database ... 17433 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libc6 2.2.5-11.1 (using .../libc6_2.2.5-11.1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
 
With the session hang.
 
If I open another one (session) and run ps waux | grep dpkg, you can see:
root       381  1.4  5.3 14604 13764 pts/0   D    16:57   0:03 dpkg -i ./cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.2.5-11.1_i386.deb

root       407  0.0  0.1  1332  432 pts/1    S    17:01   0:00 grep dpkg
 
You can see that dpkg has an "uninterruptible sleep" and of corse if I try kill -9 to pid of dpkg, it doesn´t die. The one way to kill it is rebooting the machine.
 
Could anyone help me with this problem?
 
Thanks in advance.
