[Bug 1263672] Re: package base-files 6.5ubuntu6.6 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: pre-dependency problem - not installing base-files

[Adam Conrad]

'dpkg --configure libc6 && dpkg --configure -a' should probably clear
this up, but I'm at a loss as to why apt got itself in such a situation
in the first place, including why it was "upgrading" libc6 from the same
version.
