Ubuntu does not ship /usr/lib/libc.so.6 and never did or will.
The message is telling you what to do and why it's aborting the upgrade. It's not a bug.

it looks like the trigger is another package. Can you please attach the output of dpkg -l > installed_packages ?
Are you running some external installed pkg like nVidia beta binary drivers?

This morning I got an update notification saying that new libc6, libc6-dev, and libc6-i686 packages were available for upgrade. I clicked OK to upgrade them. The upgrade of libc6-dev failed; the details from update-manager show:
(Reading database ... 160320 files and directories currently installed.)

Errors were encountered while processing:

|
The preinst script in libc6 (and variants) contains a sanity check which is designed to locate improperly-installed components of glibc. Upon finding such a component, it aborts installation of the package.
The system is not harmed in any way. The only negative effect is a failure to install updates.
There are two problems related to this check:
1. The test contains a bug causing it to be triggered by an unrelated (valid) library provided by the libpthread20 package.
2. Some users have reported occurrences of /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 and /usr/lib/libc.so.6. These files are NOT provided by any Ubuntu package and their origin is as yet unknown.
For example:
(Reading database ... 160320 files and directories currently installed.)

The preinst script in libc6 (and variants) contains a sanity check which is designed to locate improperly-installed components of glibc. Upon finding such a component, it aborts installation of the package.
The system is not harmed in any way by this failure, so DO NOT attempt to "fix" it with dpkg or by moving files by hand. Simply wait for the next update to be available from your local mirror, and install it when it arrives.
