Similar to the OP, but perhaps somewhat different also. Recent upgrade to libc6 2.7-3 borked dpkg, which then reported libc6 was not completely installed.
The error message complained about the /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst script, so I renamed the script temporarily, and ran dpkg-reconfigure libc6. This forced libc6 to install, but a couple of other packages also then failed, with similar /var/lib/dpkd/info postinst script complaints Fix was to reconfigure dpkg to use dialog frontend, using the f switch, as: # dpkg-reconfigure -f dialog I then renamed the various /var/lib/dpkg/info scripts back to the original nomenlature, and ran dpkg-reconfigure on the offending packages Apologies if this is not the same problem, but since it occurred with libc6 upgrade, I thought it might be relevant.
