For what it's worth, I seem to have worked around it with the following commands:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives sudo dpkg -i libgcc1_1%3a4.2.3-2ubuntu4_i386.deb libc6_2.7-9ubuntu2_i386.deb Neither libc6 nor libgcc1 would install on its own; they both needed to be installed in a single "dpkg -i" command. After that, "apt-get -f install" was complaining about debconf. Again, multiple packages needed to be installed simultaneously: sudo dpkg -i debconf* liblocale-gettext-perl_* perl-base_* And after those, "apt-get -f install" seemed okay. Now continuing with "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (crossing fingers)... [Note: I'm not, by any means, an expert or even a professional at this; consider waiting for a second opinion before forcing installs of packages.] ** Attachment added: "Log of "dpkg -i" commands/results" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12835140/dpkg-i.log -- kubuntu Hardy Heron could not install libc6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205079 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
