Looking at "/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.preinst" points to a problem with
the existence of a "libc.so.6" in "/lib/tls/i686/cmov" or
"/lib/i686/cmov". Possibly renaming "libc.so.6" in these directories
and running "apt-get install --reinstall libc6" should install the
latest libc6 successfully - unless apt-get needs one of those
"libc.so.6" files.

This is a Ubuntu list so given that libc6 was v 2.7.x, I/we had to
assume that you're running Hardy (Ubuntu 8.04) and that you're running
a foreign libc6.

You realise that this is an Ubuntu list... right?
Perhaps you'd be better served asking on the Debian list:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/

The question still remains: why are you asking debian questions on an
Ubuntu user list? Why are you not asking on the debian user list?

Hi,

my first apology: I was under pressure
my 2nd apology: I already have a user account for this list
my 3rd apology: I thought ubuntu and debian have the same package
management.

thanks

Delete lxappearance-gtk2 [1]. Lxappearance in community is gtk2 so this is
unnecessary.
Delete lxappearance-gtk23 [2]. Lxappearance in community applies gtk3 theme
settings correctly.
