Have done an upgrade *and* a dist-upgrade? Please post the output of

I have done both upgrade and dist-upgrade and got the same type of
error.For dist-upgrade, the error is :-" Errors were encountered while
processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc-bin_2.11.3-3_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
The output of "dpkg -l | grep dpkg":-

So, it seems the version of dpkg that is currently installed doesn't
support the "Breaks:" option. It must be a very old one.
I suggest that you first upgrade dpkg:
apt-get install dpkg
which should pull in the new version, then you can continue with an
upgrade and dist-upgrade.
