@Julian:

I explained why libc6-dev is necessary for my particular build. The
reason it's mentioned here is because, according to the logs, that's
what killed the upgrade - a candidate to replace it was not available,
and other packages rely on it.

Thanks for the admonishment. I'll stop reporting bugs to Ubuntu.

Your (perceived) bad attitude has helped me decide to migrate to pure
Debian and/or Fedora.

Strangely, neither of them seem to have these issues during release
upgrades.

Title:
  No upgrade candidate for libc6-dev?

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  HAMLIB and tQSL (along with quite a few other applications)
  require libc6-dev to build. I build them rather than
  installing the packages because the repositories are very slow to
  provide updated packages for some software.
  Example: tqsl is at least three versions behind the current
  version available from ARRL.
  A direct upgrade candidate for libc6-dev is needed.
