This package is installing a x86_64-linux-gnu.conf file in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d that triggers an error with ldconfig.real:

/sbin/ldconfig.real: Path `/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' given more than once
/sbin/ldconfig.real: Path `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' given more than once

This is because the conf file includes those directories for ldconfig to
search when ldconfig already indexes those directories by default.

After deleting the conf file created by libc6 package, the error ceases.
