Uff.

Can you tell me what the output of:

dpkg -S /usr/lib64

Is?

/usr/lib64 *should* be a symbolic link to /usr/lib on amd64 installations.
Can you also show me the output of:

ls -ld /usr/lib64

Thanks,
rob.

It has also occurred to me that you are installing the sarge package for
libc6. Is the nspluginwrapper package you are using a self-built package
or a backport from unstable?

 I would temporarily remove nspluginwrapper and upgrade your libc6. Then
 check if there is a new version of nspluginwrapper available, and if
 not, or you still have this problem after upgrading that package, file a
 bug.

 HTH,
 Andrew

This problem happened in the past already. My solution was (but please check, 
what you are doing), to get into /var/cache/apt/archives and install the libc 
manually with the --force-all option.  

i.e.

dpkg --force-all -i libcxx.deb


But you should know, what you are doing !

Best regards

Hans

A dump of the nspluginwrapper package lists the contents as:

There's no /usr/lib64 in there. I suggest you remove the nspluginwrapper
package that you have!

Try ´apt-get remove --purge nspluginwrapper´
Install that package again after the upgrade completes.
