i had a similar problem(though i dont think it was exact) and the fix
was to manually run:

apt-get install libc6

(i see libc6 is on the list there)

after that(for me) the upgrade continued..of course when it stopped
again i would have to specify manually another package and it would go a
bit more..then the process would repeat...over and over..till it was
done :)
