[Bug 1107221] Re: package libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10 failed to install/upgrade: package libc6 is already installed and configured

[Brian Murray]

You seem to have run out of space during the upgrade process.  This is a
situation you'll need to resolve manually.

Title:
  package libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10 failed to install/upgrade: package
  libc6 is already installed and configured

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  uname -a
  Linux mark-desktop 2.6.32-40-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 5 20:26:31 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
  I tried to upgrade from -40 to current version.
  Instead, I got these error messages and I have no clue what's wrong!

  I had previously tried to upgrade -44, but it broke, apparently for a
  similar reason, and I couldn't get any upgrading to work.
