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 :) nate Jim Lynch wrote: > > Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration > > No packages on hold.
