This looks like a too-lax dependency from glib against libc6. It's
pretty old I'm not sure there's anything useful to find here.

** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => glib2.0 (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in libc.so.6 with link time reference

Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dpkg

  After clean install of Karmic and running apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, the system is no longer usable.
  The upgrade ended up with error message
  <package name>: relocation error: /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: symbol __alert_mst, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
  This broke my whole system - the Xserver is not working after reboot, everytime I try to run apt-get upgrade now I receive an error from dpkg with request to run dokg --configure -a which ends up with the same error message.
  I re-installed twice with the same results - before upgrade the system works, I can install packages and so on, after upgrade the system is no longer usable.
