This is something weird. I installed this machine around a month ago with a
clean install of ubuntu 11.04. (via network install as this laptop does not
have a cdrom)
The only third party software installed is an application to manage a hdspa usb
modem, but I've checked in the software package (tar.gz) and there is no libc
included.
I've then tried to upgrade the to 11.10 using the graphical update manager. The
first try failed due to problem with the italian mirrror (the connection got
dropped several times). I switched to another mirror and tried again and got a
popup saying that the installation of libc have failed.
So I let the installation complete and then tried to reinstall the libc by
hand, getting the error stated in the log below.
I can't track down from where the older libc come. Even the 11.04 release
contained the 2.13 version of libc, so I can't explain how a 2.12 version was
present on the system during the upgrade.
I totally missed the old release number while I tried to debug the
problem, so in any case this seems to be a isolated weird case and not a
bug in the installer
