Now I have libc6-i686 of version 2.7-3 installed, because I resumed installation process after removing old /lib/i686 binaries. Anyway, I could not show you 'dpkg -l' in that situation. I was using aptitude for the whole upgrade process. The installation log shows this: log# cat dpkg.log|egrep 'libc6(-i686)?
