Title:
  Freeze at "setting up libc6:i386 (2.18.0ubuntu6)...."

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Trusty installation

  output:
  *************
  Extracting templates from packages: 100%
  Preconfiguring packages ...
  Setting up gcc-4.8-base:i386 (4.8.2-14ubuntu1) ...
  Selecting previously unselected package libc6:i386

  dpkg: warning: files list file forpackage 'libhttp-date-perllibc6'
  missing; assuming package has no files currently installed

  Reading database ....
  Unpacking libc6:i386 (from .../libc6 2.18-Oubuntu6_i386.deb) ...
  Setting up libc6:i386 (2.18-0ubuntu6) ...
  *************

  Then the whole system is frozen: lost mouse, keyboard, menus, ....

  After a new cold boot, dpkg warn to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" , but it freeze again the system.
  I'm able to unlock the situation by purging the borked entries into /var/lib/dpkg/status & available & /updates/.
  All i get is a bunch of broken packages that fail again to reinstall when libc6 is called by the upgrading processes.

  Googling around that "libhttp-date-perllibc6" package does not help,
  as it seems a very new issue.
