I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed on my machine, I tried to install a new version of libc6 which I downloaded from here I made that because a new version of libcv depends on it, I thought after installing libcv dependency it will be installed! Here is my /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log file now http://pastebin.com/7YdwKyvr

This error is preventing me from upgrading to saucy, so I need a way to fix it.

As I said in comments, libc6 is the holy mary of dependencies. With more than 15k reverse dependencies1 I would not try to replace the one I have installed with some other, less mixing saucy with precise packages. If you really want the latest libcv, you have two (three) options:

  1. Upgrade to sacuy (or install saucy in a Virtual Machine)
  2. Backport the library. Note that some build dependencies required by the package are not included in precise, so they should be backported too.

Note 1: you can find out using apt-cache rdepends libc6 | wc -l
