Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

See if this fixes it for you.... as root:

apt-get update
apt-get clean
apt-get install -fy
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get install -fy
apt-get dist-upgrade

[Kuya Marc (kuya-marc)]

It seems to be working! However, due to Internet-related bottlenecks on my
end, "apt-get dist-upgrade" runs longer than normal. I think the dpkg
instructions is what fixed the problem.

Sean Clarke's solution has WORKED!

What really worked was the following commands:
1. dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
2. dpkg --configure -a

The 1st dpkg 'force' installs from archives without aptitude.
The 2nd dpkg does automatic configurations.

I've been in the mood when going from kubuntu 11.10 x64 to Ubuntu 12.04 and tried these solution without success. I always end up with loads of different errors.

Thank to this topic, I've managed to get rid of the trouble by :
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archive/*.deb
dpkg -i --configure libgcc1 libc6
Then all the previous dpkg commands again.

And then everything back to normal to continue the upgrade.

I ran into this problem recently on 12.04, something to do with libc6:386 installed. This is what I did:

sudo dpkg --purge libc6:i386 cupswrappermfc7860dw:i386 libgcc1:i386
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.2_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

[Digulla-hepe (digulla-hepe)]

@agent: Thanks, that helped to get apt-get into a reasonable state of mind after being hit by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/1016294

[VidiMan (vidibuzz)]

This did nothing to fix my issue with lib6c. I get "Processing was halted because there were too many errors." when running the --configure command. Nothing fixes the problem.

[VidiMan (vidibuzz)]

deleting the folder at /etc/ld.so.nohwcap and running the following worked for me.

Note: the version for me was 10.3 not 10.2:
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.3_amd64.deb

[marw (marw)]

Just to confirm that the solution by Sean Clarke / Kuya Marc worked for me also.

[Sean Clarke (sean-clarke)]

Not present in later release, can we close as fixed upstream?
